Abstract Long-lived 129 I, short-lived 131 I, and organic iodides released from nuclear plants
are volatile and harmful to the ecosystem. For operational safety, and sustainable …

The atmospheric chemistry of iodine is important in diverse ways. First, it provides the route
for iodine, which is an essential dietary element for mammals, to be transported from its …

We present a simulation of the global present-day composition of the troposphere which
includes the chemistry of halogens (Cl, Br, I). Building on previous work within the GEOS …

The current knowledge in primary and secondary marine aerosol formation is reviewed. For
primary marine aerosol source functions, recent source functions have demonstrated a …

The formation of marine aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei—from which marine clouds
originate—depends ultimately on the availability of new, nanometre-scale particles in the …

Iodine is a reactive trace element in atmospheric chemistry that destroys ozone and
nucleates particles. Iodine emissions have tripled since 1950 and are projected to keep …

Atmospheric free radicals are low concentration, relatively fast reacting species whose
influence is felt throughout the atmosphere. Reactive radicals have a key role in maintaining …

During springtime in the polar regions, unique photochemistry converts inert halide salt ions
(eg Br−) into reactive halogen species (eg Br atoms and BrO) that deplete ozone in the …

Nitrogen oxides are essential for the formation of secondary atmospheric aerosols and of
atmospheric oxidants such as ozone and the hydroxyl radical, which controls the self …

Measurements of gaseous organic iodine1 and inorganic and particulate iodine2, 3 made
several decades ago indicated that volatilization of organic iodides from the ocean provides …
