Council) i. 17 Stratospheric concentrations of chlorine monoxide (ClO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) may be increased as a result of emissions of CFCs and nitrous oxide (N2O) from human activities. 1999 H. Fielding in Age of Molecule (Royal Soc. Chem.) 101/1 It turns out that, because of its stability, chlorine monoxide is of immense importance in photochemical reactions where chlorine is incorporated into a molecule in the presence of oxygen. 2010 G.
