  "definition": "The major removal mechanism (of mercury in the atmosphere) is by oxidation of Hg(0) to divalent mercury Hg(II), also known as reactive gaseous mercury or RGM, which subsequently deposits. Common oxidants are ozone, and to a lesser extent, the hydroxyl (OH) radical, H2O2 and inorganic halogens.",
