The human body’s exposure to ozone in indoor spaces generates highly reactive hydroxyl (OH), radicals which are largely responsible for the oxidation of most pollutant gases, researchers report. The ...

High levels of hydroxyl radicals (OH) can be generated indoors, simply due to the presence of people and ozone. People typically spend 90 percent of their lives inside, at home, at work, or in ...

We humans spend the vast majority of our time indoors, and we are constantly bombarded with compounds emitted from environmental sources. But we aren’t just passive targets of a chemical barrage. Our ...

Observational Constraints Reveal Biases in OVOC-Driven Radical Chemistry. Schematic illustration of how limited OVOC constraints bias simulations of radical (ROₓ) chemistry and ozone formation. When ...

Scientists have found that lightning bolts and, surprisingly, subvisible discharges that cannot be seen by cameras or the naked eye produce extreme amounts of the hydroxyl radical and hydroperoxyl ...
