ScienceScience• Ozone absorbs UV between 200nm and 310nmOzone absorbs UV between 200nm and 310nm• This breaks up the ozone from This breaks up the ozone from
OO33 → O → O22 + O + O
• The O then forms with water to form two The O then forms with water to form two hydroxyl molecules hydroxyl molecules
O + HO + H22O → 2HOO → 2HO
• Each of these OH’s then form with methane, and Each of these OH’s then form with methane, and other pollutants to form water.other pollutants to form water.
