Another sink for ozone involves fragments of water molecules. Water vapor occurs naturally in the stratosphere, and water molecules are also split apart by ultraviolet rays, giving a collection of hydrogen atoms (H), hydroxyl radicals (HO) and hydroperoxyl radicals (HOO). Collectively they can be symbolized by HOx. 5, record 1, English, - hydrogen%20dioxide

Il apparaît que la chimie des oxydes d'azote, de soufre et de carbone, de l'ozone et des constituants organiques, qui met toujours en jeu les radicaux hydroxyles et hydropéroxyles, forme un tout indissociable qui ne peut être appréhendé que dans son ensemble. Ces mécanismes contrôlent, en particulier, la formation des photooxydants et d'une partie des acides dans la basse troposphère. 4, record 1, French, - dioxyde%20d%27hydrog%C3%A8ne
