English

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution de l'air
DEF

Séquence de transformations que subit l'ozone dans l'atmosphère : formation par photodissociation de l'oxygène moléculaire, combinaison de l'oxygène atomique et moléculaire, destruction par photodissociation de l'ozone ainsi formé, renouvellement par photodissociation de l'oxygène moléculaire.

OBS

C'est à Chapman (1931) qu'on doit la première description de la chaîne de réactions qui explique la présence permanente de l'ozone dans la stratosphère. Crutzen fit ressortir plus tard (1970) l'importance des oxydes d'azote pour la compréhension du cycle de l'ozone.
