Some researchers believed that it varies by up to 25 %. Hydroxyl radicals are a key component of the self-cleaning capacity of the atmosphere, as they rid the air of many dangerous pollutants. They ...

Lightning may play a much bigger part than previously thought in a fundamental process that cleans our atmosphere of pollutants, according to the results of a new study. New research published ...

This lower atmosphere ozone is a greenhouse gas that ... for the existence of much water vapor and in the Arctic this cleaning process appears instead to rely on reactions on frozen surfaces ...

The researchers examined which processes and atmospheric compounds ... even more had it not been for this strengthening of atmospheric cleaning capacity. "All four factors—nitrogen oxides ...

Although cautioning that research and development is needed before the systems could be deployed, the team identified several potentially viable paths to using sewage as a carbon sink — that is, sewer ...
