REGIONAL AIR POLLUTION STUDY: THE FORMATION OF SULFURIC ACID IN THE STRATOSPHERE THROUGH THE GAS PHASE OXIDATION OF SO2

The results discussed in this report cover a brief review of aircraft and space vehicle emission inventories and the possible perturbation of the stratospheric aerosol. Disturbances resulting from injections of primary particles such as soot and aluminum oxide are considered along with secondary processes, including particulate sulfate formation from sulfur dioxide nitrogen oxide oxidation. Other atmospheric reactions involving organic vapors and hydrochloric acid also are included.
