Аннотация:Chemical composition of atmospheric precipitation in the area of Moscow State University was analyzed on the basis of
environment monitoring of every event of wet-only sample during the period from 1982 till 2012. The entire 30-year period of
observations can be divided into 3 parts with different acidity, changing mineralization and different predominant ions. The
volume weighted mean long-term рН is 4.9, and mean value of precipitation mineralization – 18 mg/l. Under investigation of
seasonal snow pack samples we have found that samples of snow pack gathered in the center of Moscow were 3 times more
contaminated than in the sub Moscow area samples and 5 times more dirty than snow pack probes in meteorological observatory of
Moscow State University.
