Halogens and their role in polar boundary-layer ozone depletion
During springtime in the polar regions, unique photochemistry converts inert halide salt ions (e.g. Br<sup>&minus;</sup>) into reactive halogen species (e.g. Br atoms and BrO) that deplete ozone in the boundary layer to near zero levels. Since their discovery in t...
