DEF

Catalytic action of nitrogen, mainly nitric oxide, on atmospheric ozone.

CONT

It might be noted that whereas the chlorine catalysis of ozone is about six times as efficient as the nitric oxide catalysis of ozone, the conversion to "inert" hydrogen chloride is also more efficient than the conversion to "inert" nitric acid, so that the two processes are in fact comparable in overall efficiency.
