TY - JOUR TI - On the role of solid nabr in the atmosphere after the eruption of alkalic volcanoes AU - Varotsos, C. JO - Toxicological and Environmental Chemistry PY - 1994 VL - 42 TODO - 3-4 SP - 209-213 PB - SN - 0277-2248, 1029-0486 TODO - 10.1080/02772249409358005 TODO - Alkalic volcanoes; El chichon volcano; Ozone; Pinatube volcano; Sodium bromide, Bromine compounds; Chemical reactions; Environmental engineering; Models, Sodium compounds TODO - Various atmospheric gases may react with solid NaCl and NaBr in sea salt particles in polluted marine areas, as well as in the Arctic. The affinity of these gases for the solid NaBr is confined to a surface layer that is at least several hundred angstroms deep. It has been shown that these reactions are mostly likely associated among others with crystal defects. In this study the heterogeneous reactions of various gases with solid NaBr were examined by using a recently proposed model (Varotsos et al., 1988). © 1994, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
