Bromine cycle

Anthropogenic and natural sources of bromine. The major sources include sea spray, salt lakes, marshes, volcanos, anthropogenic sources. Sinks include exchange of brominated compounds with the stratospheric and troposphere.Bromine's chemistry is linked to other halogens such as chlorine and iodine amplify atmospheric cycling that contributes to troposphere and stratosphere ozone layer destruction.[1] Figure modified from[2]

The bromine cycle is a biogeochemical cycle of bromine through the atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere.
