The elemental composition of near-surface aerosol was determined in Kislovodsk city and on Shatzhatmaz mountain plateau (North Caucasus) in 2010-2017. The accumulation coefficients of chemical elements in components of geochemical high-mountain landscape (surface aerosol, soil) show the increased concentrations of lithogenic elements typical for this region (Al, Na, Mg, Ka, Ca, Fe). In its turn, the technogenic elements (phosphorus, sulfur, heavy metals) are also available both in aerosols, and in soils at both observation points. We analyze the impacts of local anthropogenic sources and pollution transport with air masses from neighboring regions.
