For the first time, an entirely new class of super-reactive chemical compounds has been discovered under atmospheric conditions. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen, in close collaboration with international colleagues, have documented the formation of so-called trioxides—an extremely oxidizing chemical compound that likely affects both human health and our global climate.

Doom, despair and agony on me; deep dark depression, excessive misery.

However, neither he nor Henrik Grum Kjærgaard are worried about the new discovery: "These compounds have always been around—we just didn't know about them... says Henrik Grum Kjærgaard.

"The discovery suggests that there could be plenty of other things in the air that we don't yet know about. Indeed, the air surrounding us is a huge tangle of complex chemical reactions. As researchers, we need to keep an open mind if we want to get better at finding solutions," concludes Jing Chen.

Nevermind.
