The results of testing the upgraded device for layer-by-layer snow sampling have been used to determine changes in the integrated physical-chemical parameters of snow (pH value, ox-red potential, electrical conductivity and density of the snow) in the snow mass during its formation in the mid-taiga zone in the northeast of the European Plain. The value of these parameters for monitoring aerosol pollution of the snow cover has been estimated.
