Abstract
It is known that the conductivities and the potential gradient of the atmosphere are affected by the presence of dust, smoke, and water vapor in the atmosphere. Very few published data exist showing the effect of dust particles upon the conductivity. The data for the effects of atmospheric pollution on the potential gradient, although more numerous, have not always been consistent, possibly because of the varying conditions under which they were collected. If, for instance, the dust is charged with about the same amounts of positive and negative electricity, then in general one should expect an increase of potential gradient with increasing amount of dust due to a decreasing conductivity.
