The Earth's atmosphere has strengthened its ability to remove air pollutants, including the potent climate-warming gas methane, according to research published in Nature Communications.

The study of atmospheric chemistry, particularly the role of hydroxyl radicals (·OH), is crucial for understanding how various gases interact in the atmosphere. Hydroxyl radicals are often ...

Then, using highly sensitive instruments they had developed, the researchers measured the concentration of organic compounds and hydroxyl radicals in the air inside the chamber. They also looked at ...

Atomic Oxygen (O): A reactive form of oxygen that plays a significant role in atmospheric chemistry. Hydroxyl (OH): A radical species formed from the reaction of atomic oxygen and hydrogen ...
