Abstract
We investigated the mechanism and dynamics of solid particles, emissions, and the concentrations of sulphur dioxide as integral components of the contamination of atmosphere. The only way of decontamination is the wash-out by precipitation (solid - snow, liquid - rain). We started from the items of information acquired during the studies of snow acidity in mountain regions heavily polluted by industrial exhalations (NOVÁKOVÁ and TOLLINGER 1971). It was necessary to choose a quite new methodical process, as required and enabled by the existing conditions of our investigation. The investigations of analogous character, carried out mainly in Scandinavia (e.g., BARRETT et al. 1955, ERIKSSON 1955, etc.), approached to the solving of involved problematics from another point of view.
