The chlorine and nitrogen radicals may interact through ClO + NO2 = ClNO3 forming chlorine nitrate. This could be an important reaction from the point of view of ozone photochemistry because it removed radicals from both the chlorine and nitrogen systems, and it is these radicals that may play such a large role in the catalytic destruction of ozone. 5, record 1, English, - catalytic%20ozone%20destruction%20cycle

Dans le premier maillon de la chaîne : O3+C1=C10+O2, le chlore apparaît comme un catalyseur qui sépare l'ozone. Dans le maillon suivant : C10+O=C1+O2, on voit que, d’une part, le catalyseur s’est reformé et est prêt à commencer un nouveau cycle de destruction et que, d’autre part, le bilan de cette chaîne, O3=O+O2, est la disparition pure et simple de l'ozone. Le monoxyde d’azote(NO) représente un autre agent de destruction catalytique de l'ozone; son efficacité comme catalyseur est six fois moindre que celle du chlore. 3, record 1, French, - cycle%20de%20destruction%20catalytique%20de%20l%27ozone

When a chlorine atom (C1) collides with an ozone molecule, the chlorine steals the ozone's third oxygen atom, forming a chlorine monoxide radical (C1O) and an oxygen molecule. Radicals, which are molecules that have an odd number of electrons, are quite reactive. 5, record 3, English, - chlorine%20monoxide

Recently it has been shown that ozone is also destroyed by the catalytic cycle of oxides of chlorine (C1-C10x). In this case, ozone destruction is accelerated by increased H0x, but retarded by the presence of methane and nitric oxide. The amount of naturally produced C10x in the stratosphere seems to be small and its effect on ozone considerably smaller than that of NOx. 3, record 4, English, - chlorine%20oxides
