The gas-phase chlorine monoxide (ClO) radical has been studied extensively for its role in catalytic stratospheric ozone depletion following the discovery of the Antarctic ozone hole in 1985. Reactive chlorine chemistry is known to occur in the troposphere as well, originating primarily from sea sal...
