Aerosols collected by net method over the Western Pacific were investigated. Distribution of eolian material, its mineral and chemical compositions are controlled by the climatic and circumcontinental zonalities. It was stated that Fe and Mn were bound with mineral components of aerosols, while trace elements are bound with organogenic matter. Fluxes of aerosols and their components on the ocean surface were determined.
