The atmospheric chemistry of hydroxyl radicals and gas‐phase reactions is central to our understanding of air quality and climate dynamics. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH), often described as the “atmospheric ...

According to a study published in Water Research in April 2020, superoxide produces hydroxyl radicals in lake water. Hydroxyl radicals break down poorly biodegradable organic matter such as humic ...

Equations describing the yield of scavenging reactions of the hydroxyl radical and of the hydrated electron in aqueous solutions of biological interest are presented. These equations are shown to be ...

In a new study published in Global Change Biology, Prof. Zhang Yuanming's team from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and ...

Scientists have found that lightning bolts and, surprisingly, subvisible discharges that cannot be seen by cameras or the naked eye produce extreme amounts of the hydroxyl radical and hydroperoxyl ...

Reactive oxygen intermediates, i.e. the superoxide radical (${\mathrm{O}}_{2}^{\cdot -}$), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the hydroxyl radical (·OH), are generally regarded as harmful products of ...

We humans spend the vast majority of our time indoors, and we are constantly bombarded with compounds emitted from environmental sources. But we aren’t just passive targets of a chemical barrage. Our ...

In every sense, gazing into an Antarctic time tunnel is a chilling experience. You lean over an icy entrance about the size of a dinner plate being exceptionally careful not to drop anything in. It's ...
