Abstract

Specific features of inhomogeneous ionization resulting from radioactive pollution in the lower atmosphere are investigated. A model of track ionization of air is proposed that allows for such elementary processes as kinetics, molecular diffusion, and drift of ions in an electric field. The applicability limits of the model are determined.
