An estimate of ≈10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 was obtained for the rate coefficient for reaction of Cl with MCDMS. It would appear that the reaction with OH is not the main loss process for CH3SCH2Cl in the marine boundary layer. The possible implications for the MBL of halogen-promoted oxidation of dimethylsulphide are considered.
