Oxidant X:
* In a major breakthrough, Scientists for the first time have found evidence of another oxidant named X,which plays an important role in the formation of gaseous Sulphuric Acid in the atmosphere.
* Until now there was a misconception that the combination of OH(hydroxyl radical) oxidant with sulphur dioxide was the reason behind the formation of gaseous sulphuric acid is formed in the atmosphere.
* The new oxidant is capable of oxidizing suphur dioxide. Experiments done by Scientists showed that the concentration of ‘X’ also does not remain constant during the day.
