The uptake coefficients () for OH radicals on some dry salts of tropospheric interest (NaCl and NH4NO3) have been investigated as a function of temperature using the flow tube technique combined with an EPR spectrometer as a detection method. The temperature dependence of -values measured over the temperature range 245-340 K can be expressed in Arrhenius form: OHNaCl=(1.2+/-0.7)×10-5exp[(1750+/-200)/T] and OHNH4NO3=(1.4+/-0.5)×10-4exp[(1000+/-100)/T]. These Arrhenius expressions lead to very similar -values (approx4×10-3) for both salts studied at 300 K. It is shown that the heterogeneous OH sinks on solids aerosol play a very minor role in tropospheric chemistry in comparison with the homogeneous sinks.
