Detecting New Compounds In Atmosphere
Every vapor we breathe is composed mostly of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. However, when looking in more detail at what is in the air we breathe, it would take an encyclopedia to identify the compounds and elements contained therein.
A recent discovery shows that there is another chemical compound in the air, roughly translated as Organic Hydrogen Trioxide. Although this compound only exists for a short time in the air, scientists think that this substance may still have certain effects on us that have never been known.

In fact, right now, scientists think we’re breathing in a billion molecules of Hydrogen Trioxide. As just mentioned, the impact of organic Hydrogen Trioxide on living organisms and the environment is still a word x in the hidden problem, but with the discovery of the existence of Hydrogen Trioxide in the air, it is worth a closer look.
“This compound is always present in the air, we just don’t know it,” said chemist Henrik Grum Kjærgaard at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. […] By having evidence of how the compound is formed and remains in the air for a period of time, we [có đủ dữ liệu để] can study the effects and figure out how to deal with it if it’s harmful.”
Question Marks About IMPACTS ON HUMANS AND ENVIRONMENT
In chemistry, it is a relatively frequent situation where the addition of a single element can cause a complete change in the original properties.
Example with water (LIFE)2O), it is only thanks to the combination of 2 molecules of hydrogen and 1 molecule of oxygen that the Earth has one of the necessary conditions for life. But if we add 1 molecule of oxygen, we will have Hydrogen Peroxide (also known as Hydrogen Peroxide, chemical formula: H2O2), is a relatively reactive chemical commonly used as a mild disinfectant or disinfectant. Now we add 1 more oxygen molecule, we have Hydrogen Trioxide (chemical formula: OR)3H or HUE2O3), but of course it takes the right facilities and machines to create.
Because of its strong reaction with other substances, there are currently many questions about whether Hydrogen Trioxide can exist in a stable form in the air. This is not only an academic question from chemists, but it can also help us gain more knowledge and perspective on the workings of the atmosphere, as well as the impact on human health and the whole world. Climate change is happening on a large scale.
Hydrogen Trioxide has the chemical formula HO3H or H2O3.
Chemist Kristan H. Møller also from the University of Copenhagen adds: “Most human activities release chemicals into the atmosphere. If you want to know how the current effects affect the gas, In the atmosphere of the future, knowledge of chemical reactions occurring in the atmosphere is an extremely important area of research.”
The team’s research has given us a real look at how Hydrogen Trioxide is formed even under normal atmospheric conditions with components already present in the air. From here, the team of researchers can learn more about how hydrogen trioxide is synthesized, how long it lasts, and how it decomposes.
One of the emissions worth mentioning is Isoprene, because this organic substance can react naturally in the air, producing up to 10 million tons of Hydrogen Trioxide per year. In fact, isoprene is only one potential source of hydrogen trioxide, and scientists think that any other compound in the atmosphere will play a role in the formation of hydrogen trioxide in the atmosphere, regardless The generated hydrogen trioxide will last for a few minutes or hours.
FIND THE ANSWER
During the time Hydrogen Trioxide exists, it can participate in a variety of reactions as an oxidizing agent, can absorb or reside deep within the tiny particles of matter suspended in the air, commonly called to be aerosol. Chemist Henrik Grum Kjærgaard states: “It is not difficult to imagine that new substances are formed in aerosol which can be very harmful when inhaled, and further studies are needed if the potential health problems are to be addressed.”

When the particles aerosol have an impact on the way the Earth reflects sunlight, understand how these chemicals make aerosol A further disappearance or development will help us understand more precisely about Earth’s climate. Further studies on the role of hydrogen trioxide in the atmosphere are of course coming soon, and indeed have already begun at the University of Copenhagen, says researcher Jing Chen.
Researcher Jing Chen added: “Really complex chemical reactions are still happening right in the air around us. For scientists, we’ll have to be really curious if we want to find these. better solution.”
The study was published in the scientific journal Science.
