Bromine compounds cycle between the oceans, ice, atmosphere, and land. Once in the atmosphere, reactive bromine can lead to substantial ozone destruction, both in the troposphere and in the stratosphere. Furthermore, bromine compounds play an important role in the direct oxidation of dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and mercury and indirectly affect the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere through reactions with nitrogen and hydrogen oxides as well as through catalytic reactions with other halogen compo...
Bromine compounds cycle between the oceans, ice, atmosphere, and land. Once in the atmosphere, reactive bromine can lead to substantial ozone destruction, both in the troposphere and in the stratosphere. Furthermore, bromine compounds play an important role in the direct oxidation of dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and mercury and indirectly affect the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere through reactions with nitrogen and hydrogen oxides as well as through catalytic reactions with other halogen compounds containing iodine and chlorine. The sources, sinks, atmospheric chemistry, and biogeochemical cycle of bromine are described in this article.
