Abstract
Moscow has various sources and weather conditions for the increase of dust content of air, both due to technogenic emissions, and due to diffusion of loose material from surface. Samples of solid atmospheric fallouts in roadside areas are studied. Airborne fallouts participate in formation of city soils. Solid atmospheric fallouts promote enrichment of the soil by compounds of carbon, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, chlorine and heavy metals. The main part of samples consists of different sizes silicate particles – from sand to thin silt. In all samples the carbonates and high-carbonaceous particles, organic remains of different degree of decomposition, and also hyphas and conidia of fungi are found. Also there are particles of artifi cial materials. Airborne fallouts are weakly responsible for the extreme character of urban soils. Samples are aggregated with a primary size of micro units 10-50mkm that strongly reduces risk of secondary pollution by heavy metals due to sorption of thin particles containing heavy metals on a surface of silicate grains and an organic material.
