Studies using SF6 to estimate the mean age of stratospheric air have assumed the influence of mesospheric
photochemical destruction is negligible.
«Free oxygen [O2] in the atmosphere is required to form a protective layer of ozone [O3], which can shield methane from
photochemical destruction,» Reinhard said.

On the contrary, the use of currently recommended
photochemical parameters leads to insufficient ozone
destruction in the model.
Recently, additional ozone production mechanisms have been proposed to resolve the ozone deficit problem, which arises from greater ozone
destruction than production in several
photochemical models of the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere.
The treatment of organic materials is characterized by the limitation of
photochemical and photothermal
destruction.
