Numerical investigations of the process of condensation 
of deleterious atmospheric impurities on the surface of near-ground 
plants under the conditions of natural convective flows have been 
carried out. The influence of the latter near the surface of phytocenosis 
elements on the intensity of the process of condensation has been 
evaluated.
