Abstract
The Stokes parameters of radiation scattered by anisotropic particles (cosmic dust grains or molecules) are calculated. The effective mechanisms of transformation of the linear polarization into the circular one by free-oriented anisotropic particles are proposed. The optical activity of the irregular-shaped particles is shown to be rather large even though they consist of isotropic inactive material.
