Since this is a\nphotochemical reaction it only takes place while the sun is up.\nExperiments over Antarctica have shown a direct relation between polar\nozone loss and the increase in halocarbon chemistry, which comes from\nanthropogenic sources. Scientist are currently looking at the molecular\nbehavior of chlorine dioxide in the atmosphere in order to understand its\nrole in depletion of ozone more thoroughly. [Simon, J.
