Abstract:Environmental context Due to The Montreal Protocol, stratospheric ozone concentration is slowly regenerating, however, the recovery rate is slower than predicted by photochemical models. FTIR spectroscopy together with quantum chemical calculations confirmed that ozone reacts with halogenated acids adsorbed at a model aerosol surface. Reactions occur at low temperatures without photochemical activation with formation of halogen oxides that are known to promote catalytic cycles of ozone depletion. Abstract … Show more
