Reactive Oxygen Species in Natural Waters

  • Chapter
Active Oxygen in Chemistry

Abstract

Interest in reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the environment was originally stimulated by certain atmospheric problems such as smog formation, stratospheric ozone depletion, and, more recently, acid rain. As a result of the need to understand the causes of these problems better, gasphase reactions of tropospheric oxidants and related primary photochemical processes have been intensely studied, and atmospheric photochemistry has become a highly developed subdiscipline.
