Summary:The paper discusses a theoretical approach to the statistics of aerosol electric charging. It is based on the analysis of electric charge flows among charged aerosols. The steady-state aerosol charge distribution is described theoretically for normal environments, also for radioactive charging, charging by external irradiation and charging in external electric fields. Theoretical results are compared with experimental data taken from the literature (including early work by the authors (Emets et al., J. Aerosol Sci. 22, 389–394 (1991)). The agreement is good.
