  • Now smog is basically a “slow burn,” with the “burning” mediated by what are called free radicals, in this case hydroxyl (HO), and peroxyl, the simplest being hydroperoxyl (HOO).

  • [27] Uric acid and ascorbate are both strong reducing agents (electron-donors): uric acid scavenges oxygen radicals, singlet oxygen, oxo-haem oxidants and hydroperoxyl radicals.
