Iodine is an essential element in the human diet and a deficiency can lead to a number of
health outcomes collectively termed iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). The geochemistry of …

In the past 40 years, atmospheric chemists have come to realize that halogens exert a
powerful influence on the chemical composition of the troposphere and through that …

Ozone holds a certain fascination in atmospheric science. It is ubiquitous in the atmosphere,
central to tropospheric oxidation chemistry, yet harmful to human and ecosystem health as …

Ozonolysis is a major tropospheric removal mechanism for unsaturated hydrocarbons and
proceeds via “Criegee intermediates”—carbonyl oxides—that play a key role in tropospheric …

The Earth's climate is determined by a number of complex connected physical, chemical and
biological processes occurring in the atmosphere, land and ocean. The radiative properties …

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 …

Halogen chemistry is well known for ozone destruction in the stratosphere, however reactive
halogens also play an important role in the chemistry of the troposphere. In the last two …

Naturally occurring bromine-and iodine-containing compounds substantially reduce
regional, and possibly even global, tropospheric ozone levels,,,. As such, these halogen …

Nucleation of neutral iodine particles has recently been found to involve both iodic acid
(HIO3) and iodous acid (HIO2). However, the precise role of HIO2 in iodine oxoacid …

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 …
