Provided that polar regions are dense in carbon, and ice and snow have relatively low bromine content, where does this large content of bromine, which is significantly responsible for the depletion of ozone in the lower atmosphere, originate and how? Also, given that there are different types of reactivity for halides as compared to OH and ozone, is there a correlation between the type and amount of reactive halogen species to the ODE (ozone depletion event) rate?

Just recently (April 26, 2013), scientists have been studying the excessive release of the element bromine in polar regions, indicating that this element comes from snow and ice. However, the...
