The existence of condensed carbon in the form of liquid droplets and graphite grains is found in white dwarf atmospheres with parameters g = 108cm s-2, H/He ≤ 10-5, C/He = 10-3, and Teff ≤ 6000K on the basis of model atmospheres techniques. It is shown that the condensation layers are dynamically stable and, consequently, that white dwarfs cannot supply the condensed particles to the interstellar medium. Possible observable effects are considered.
