The atmospheric chemistry of hydrogen cyanide (HCN)

Abstract

Since 1981, three groups have reported spectroscopic detections and measurements of hydrogen cyanide in the atmosphere. HCN concentrations (volume mixing ratios) of (1.5-1.7) x 10-10 appear to characterize the stratosphere and the Northern Hemisphere's nonurban troposphere. In this paper we explore the atmospheric behavior of HCN by examining its chemical and photochemical properties. -from Authors
