The heterogeneous interactions of HOBr, HBr and HCl with ice and supercooled sulfuric acid solutions have been studied in a low temperatures low pressure flow tube coupled to a mass spectrometer. The heterogeneous reactions HOBr + HCl {yields} BrCl + H{sub 2}O and HOBr + HBr {yields} Br{sub 2} + H{sub 2}O have been demonstrated to proceed readily on these surfaces, and it has been shown that both HOBr and HBr are more easily partitioned to the condensed phase than their chlorine analogues. These heterogeneous reactions represent routes for the activation of halogen species in the atmosphere. In particular, the implications of this research to the depletion of stratospheric ozone after the Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption and to the depletion of ozone in the springtime Arctic boundary layer will be discussed.
