Air conductivity and atmospheric electric field as an indicator of anthropogenic atmospheric pollution

The dynamics of the anthropogenic atmospheric pollution level is evaluated using atmospheric electrical data obtained at a network of stations. These stations are distributed at midlatitude plain and mountain stations and also at two high-latitude stations on the Kola Peninsula. The anthropogenic atmospheric pollution level is estimated from a comparison of atmospheric electricity data measured on weekdays with data measured on Sundays, when work-related pollution activities are reduced.
