Methyl bromide and methyl chloride fluxes from soil and seawater samples under different treatment

Methyl bromide (CH₃Br) and methyl chloride (CH₃Cl) are major carriers of atmospheric bromine and chlorine, respectively, which can catalyze stratospheric ozone depletion. However, in our current understanding, there are missing sources associated with these two species. Here we investigated the effect of copper(II) on CH₃Br and CH₃Cl production from soil, seawater and model organic compounds: catechol (benzene-1,2-diol) and guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol). This work has been accepted to publish in Nature Communications with open access, entitled as "Application of copper(II)-based chemicals induces CH₃Br and CH₃Cl emissions from soil and seawater". On Zenodo, we are providing the source data for figure production.
