[en] Some peculiarities of the Earth's dusty ionosphere are considered using as an example the polar summer mesosphere. We discuss in detail growth and sedimentation of nanosized dusty/smoke particles in the upper atmosphere; the impact of nano/micro-particles optical properties on their heating and charging; for instance, it has been shown that oppositely charged dust particles may present in the polar summer mesosphere. We present a simple one-dimensional growth-sedimentation model; the model predicts the size and altitude distributions of dust particles in the mesosphere; e.g, the model predicts the bimodal size distribution of the dust particles.
