| Abstract |
The report presents results from laboratory and theoretical investigations directed at identifying chemical processes by which CO is oxidized and removed from the atmosphere. Three aspects are discussed: (a) the photochemical CO oxidation in the stratosphere; (b) reaction of CO with ozone in the troposphere; and (c) CO removal by oxidation in the hydrosphere. The mechanism of stratospheric CO removal is considered, and its significance as an atmospheric CO sink is discussed. An account is given of a laboratory investigation of the reaction between CO and ozone. An exploratory experimental study of CO oxidation in aqueous solutions is described. A summary is given of the conclusions drawn from these investigations with regard to atmospheric CO removal processes. (Author) |
