Abstract

Recent measurements of inorganic chlorine gases [1] and hydrocarbons [2] indicate the presence of reactive chlorine in the remote marine boundary layer; reactions involving chlorine and bromine can affect the concentrations of ozone, hydrocarbons and cloud condensation nuclei.

This text was first published as “A mechanism for halogen release from sea-salt aerosol in the remote marine boundary layer”, as: “Letter to Nature”, in: Nature, vol. 383, 26 September 1996: 327–330. The permission to republish this article was granted on 19 August 2015 by Ms. Claire Smith, Nature Publishing Group & Palgrave Macmillan, London, UK. The authors thank C. Brühl for calculating photolysis rate constants and B. Luo for calculating activity coefficients. This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
