The influence of nano-and microscale particles (dust grains) on the global electromagnetic (Schumann) cavity has been studied in the context of two possible mechanisms. First, the presence of charged microscale particles in the ionospheric plasma modifies the dispersion properties of the upper boundary of the Schumann cavity and, thus, affects its eigenfrequencies and quality factor. Second, there is a relation between the dust concentration in the atmosphere and lightning discharges, which excite Schumann resonances. Therefore, dust grains can enhance the energy pumping of the cavity, thereby increasing the amplitude of electromagnetic oscillations in it.
