Abstract

The heterogeneous halogen chemistry plays a critical role in the ozone depletion events in the polar boundary layers. Pathways involving the conversion from photochemically active halogens to photochemically inactive halogens are necessary to understand the nature of ozone depletion, but the processes are not fully understood. The study of the effects of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxalic acid (C2H2
