This short communication is part of a thesis at the University of Heidelberg, FRG.

It deals with some dynamical aspects of small interplanetary particles, which are affected by non-gravitational forces like the Poynting - Robertson Effect.

The equations of motion of test particles are numerically integrated. The forces acting on these particles include the gravitational attraction of the Sun and the Planets as well as forces due to incident solar radiation.

The ephemerides of the Planets in the heliocentric rectangular 3-dimensional coordinate system used here are taken from the Development Ephemeris DE-102 (Newhall et al. 1983) . This restricts the time span of the integration to about 4412 years.
