Skin lotions and perfumes can disrupt the chemistry of the air surrounding us, although more investigation is needed to ...

Perfumes and lotions disrupt the body's natural air chemistry, weakening a protective ozone barrier created by skin-oil ...

The personal care products suppress reactions between skin oils and ozone. It's not clear how, or if, this chemistry change might impact human health.

"Hydroxyl is also affected by stratospheric ozone depletion, and water vapor, which is increasing under global warming, while OH has a significant offset due to methane, also increasing quickly ...

Keith Warriner and his food science students are looking at ways to develop the technology, which is a prototype that combines three ingredients to create hydroxyl radicals.

including 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (6-MHO), which then directly reacts with ozone to produce hydroxyl radicals. “6-MHO looks like the dominant source of hydroxyl radicals from ozone reactions but ...

These reactive chemicals, known as hydroxyl (OH) radicals, are found in high concentrations outdoors due to UV light from the sun interacting with ozone and water vapor in the atmosphere to ...

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 ...

Sunlight breaks ozone apart resulting in the creation of the very reactive hydroxyl radical which begins the process that removes some pollutants from the air. However, when hydroxyl radicals ...
