On the Chemistry of Inorganic Free Radicals in Cloud Water

The chemistry by which the inorganic free radicals *OH, HO2*, O2*-, SOx*- (x = 3, 4, 5), NO3*, Cl* and Cl2*- lead to the formation of acid rain by the oxidation of sulfur dioxide and organic pollutants in cloud water is discussed in detail. Also considered are the sources of the radicals, their rela...

Summary:The chemistry by which the inorganic free radicals *OH, HO2*, O2*-, SOx*- (x = 3, 4, 5), NO3*, Cl* and Cl2*- lead to the formation of acid rain by the oxidation of sulfur dioxide and organic pollutants in cloud water is discussed in detail. Also considered are the sources of the radicals, their relative reactivities, their interconversion and the origins of the pollutants with which they react.
