The paper presents results of experimental study of the physicochemical properties of surface aerosols in the Moscow region in the summer of 2019. Microphysical parameters, mass concentration and elemental composition of submicron and micron aerosol particles are considered, and their morphological structure is described. The features of variability of aerosol characteristics under atypical weather conditions prevailing in June-July 2019 are shown. The spatial distribution of the elemental composition of aerosols is established, a significant degree of their enrichment with heavy metals and metalloids is revealed. Geochemical analysis of aerosols and soils in Moscow was performed, and the coefficients of local aerosol concentration were calculated. The obtained experimental data will be useful for the refinement and verification of climate models.
