Abstract

Working Out the Methodical Scientific Basis for Atmospheric Fall-Out Monitoring in Central Asia Guest contribution G A Tolkacheva 72, KMakhsumov St., Tashkent, 700052, Uzbekistan The strained ecological situation in the region, caused by the intensive process of the Aral Sea recession due to the influence of human economic activity has increased the sources of aerosol emissions into the atmosphere and also its total pollution. The dried part of the Aral Sea has become the main source of dust and salt and the small dispersive aerosol particles can spread over many thousands of kilometers increasing atmospheric pollution all over the world. The natural cycle of aerosols in the atmosphere including the processes of aerosol emission from natural sources, their transfer, transformation and fall-out has been disrupted. In Table 1 you can see some values, characterising
