  1. Ozone depletion potential

    The ozone depletion potential ODP of a chemical compound is the relative amount of degradation to the ozone layer it can cause, with trichlorofluoromethane R 11 or CFC 11 being fixed at an ODP of 1.0. Chlorodifluoromethane R 22 , for example, has an ODP of 0.05. CFC or R11 has the maximum potential amongst chlorocarbons because of the presence of three chlorine atoms in the molecule. The first proposal of ODP came from Wuebbles in 1983. It was defined as a measure of destructive effects of a substance compared to a reference substance. ref http www.ciesin.org TG OZ odp.html Ozone Depletion and Chlorine Loading Potential of Chlorofluorocarbon Alternatives ref Precisely, ODP of a given substance is defined as the ratio of global loss of ozone due to given substance over the global loss of ozone due to CFC 11 of the same mass. ODP can be estimated from the structure of a given substance. Chlorofluorocarbons have ODPs roughly equal to 1. Brominated substances have usually higher ODPs in range 5 15, because of more aggressive bromine reaction with ozone. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons have ODPs mostly in range 0.005 0.2 due to the presence of the hydrogen which causes them to react readily in the troposphere , therefore reducing their chance to reach the stratosphere . Hydrofluorocarbons HFC have no chlorine content, so their ODP is essentially zero. ODP is often used in conjunction with a compound s global warming potential GWP as a measure of how environmentally detrimental it can be. GWP represents the potential of a substance to contribute to global warming .

  1. Tropospheric ozone depletion events

    Image br explosion.png thumb 300px Chemical mechanism of the bromine explosion. The blue area at the bottom represents the condensed phase liquid brine or ice surface . During springtime in the polar regions, unique photochemistry converts inert halide salt ions e.g. Br sup sup into reactive halogen species e.g. Br atoms and BrO that deplete ozone in the boundary layer to near zero levels. Since their discovery in the late 1980s, research on these ozone depletion events ODEs has shown the central role of bromine photochemistry. Due to the autocatalysis autocatalytic nature of the reaction mechanism, it has been called bromine explosion. It s still not fully understood how salts are transported from the ocean and oxidized to become reactive halogen species in the air. Other halogens chlorine and iodine are also activated through mechanisms coupled to bromine chemistry. The main consequence of halogen activation is chemical destruction of ozone, which removes the primary precursor of atmospheric oxidation, and generation of reactive halogen atoms oxides that become the primary oxidizing species. The different reactivity of halogens as compared to OH and ozone has broad impacts on atmospheric chemistry , including near complete removal and deposition of mercury element mercury , alteration of oxidation fates for organic gases, and export of bromine into the free troposphere . Recent changes in the climate of the Arctic and state of the Arctic sea ice cover are likely to have strong effects on halogen activation and ODEs.

  1. Ozone monitor

    Multiple issues unreferenced August 2009 orphan November 2006 An ozone monitor is electronic equipment that monitors for ozone concentrations in the air. The instrument may be used to monitor ozone values for industrial applications or to determine the amount of ambient ozone at ground level and determine whether these values violate National Ambient Air Quality Standards NAAQS . An ozone monitor operates by pulling an air sample from the atmosphere into the machine with an air pump. During one cycle, the ozone monitor will take one air sample through the air inlet, and scrub the ozone from the air for the next cycle, an air sample bypasses the scrubber and the ozone value calculated. The solenoid valve is electronically activated to shift the air flow either through the scrubber or to bypass it on a timed sequence. The difference between the two sampled values determines the actual ozone value at that time. The monitor may also have options to account for air pressure and air temperature to calculate the value of ozone. Image ozoneairsampleflow.jpg The concentration of ozone is determined using the Beer Lambert Law that basically says that the absorption of light is proportional to the concentration. For ozone, a 254 nanometer wavelength of light created by a mercury lamp is shined through a specific length of tubing with reflective mirrors. A photodiode at the other end of the tube detects the changes of brightness from the light. The onboard electronics process the values obtained and display the value on the screen and can also output an electrical signal in volt s or a 4 20 mA current that can be read by an electronic data logger . Other options for output are RS232 serial port or ethernet or internal data storage on flash memory .

Like ordinary ozone O sub 3 sub , it would have three oxygen atoms. It would differ from ordinary ozone how those three oxygen atoms are arranged. In ordinary ozone, the atoms are arranged in a bent line in cyclic ozone they would form an equilateral triangle . Some of properties of cyclic ozone have been predicted theoretically.
