Short summary
Despite the crucial role of halogen radicals in the atmosphere, current chemical transport models (CTMs) do not account for multi-phase halogen processes. To address this issue, we incorporated 177 halogen reactions, together with anthropogenic and natural halogen emissions into the CTMs. Our findings reveal that incorporation of these halogen processes significantly improves model performances compared to observations. In addition, we emphasize the influence of halogen radicals on air quality.
