Abstract

In Tbilisi according to the data of the complex stationary and mobile monitoring of small ions concentration, radon, gamma-radiation of soil and sub-micron aerosol concentration in 2009-2011 the feedback effect of intensity of ionizing radiation with the small ions content in atmosphere is revealed. One of the reasons for this effect can be catalyzation of the processes of formation secondary aerosols in atmosphere according to the scheme of gas→ particle by the ionizing radiation, which occur more intensive than the ions formation. The corresponding examples of the connections of ionizing radiation with the ions content and sub-micron aerosol concentration are presented.
