Criegee intermediates are transient carbonyl oxide species generated during the ozonolysis of alkenes, and they play a pivotal role in atmospheric oxidation processes. Their formation initiates a ...

The atmospheric chemistry of hydroxyl radicals and gas‐phase reactions is central to our understanding of air quality and climate dynamics. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH), often described as the “atmospheric ...

Hydroperoxides are strong oxidants that have a significant influence on chemical processes in the atmosphere. Now, an international research team involving the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric ...

Nitrates in the atmosphere reduce air quality and play an important role in climate change. An international team led by Hokkaido University researchers has revealed how chemical processes in the ...

Look up on a clear night and you'll see the streaks of our new space age. What you don't see is the growing fallout for the atmosphere that keeps us alive. A wave of satellite launches and reentries ...

This report summarizes the rationale and need for supporting a comprehensive U.S. research program in atmospheric chemistry; comments on the broad trends in laboratory, field, satellite, and modeling ...

Companies are using the Earth's atmosphere like a dumpster. The post Rapid Space Launches Shifting the Chemistry of Earth’s Atmosphere appeared first on Futurism.

Rising carbon dioxide levels are heating the planet but may also have an alarming, invisible impact on the human body, ...

Mars’ north polar vortex locks its atmosphere in extreme cold and darkness, freezing out water vapor and triggering a dramatic rise in ozone. Scientists found that the lack of sunlight and moisture ...

There is another way forward. A circular economy for space applies the same principles that aims to transform modern waste ...
