5.7 Conclusion

An apparent conclusion from a brief review of heterogeneous chemical processes in the atmosphere is that the latest studies, especially studies of interaction of aerosols and MGCs in the atmosphere, are only in their initial stages. In particular, the climatic role of heterogeneous processes in the destruction of ozone molecules and in their transport from the stratosphere is very significant, and there is no doubt that modelling the heterogeneous processes of chemical transformations of atmospheric matter requires a further specification of the processes of generation of initial products, as well as numerical modelling of the rates of heterogeneous reactions.

The field observations of the ozone content in the atmosphere under different meteorological conditions and at different levels of pollution, as well as an overview of theoretical and experimental data, show that the problem of the impact of aerosols, and in particular dust outflows, on variations of the ozone content in the atmosphere is far from being unique. Even repeatedly observed marked decreases of ozone content in the layers with aerosol pollutants can be caused both by direct destruction of an ozone molecule on dust particles or by other processes. Therefore, further parallel synchronous observations of the content of ozone, aerosols, and other admixtures in the atmosphere together with measurements of several meteorological parameters are needed.
