Abstract

Methods and apparatus are described which utilize an aqueous hydrogen peroxide composition of hydrogen peroxide and at least one additive which serves to catalyze the rapid decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals. When contacted with an atmospheric effluent containing odor and/or noxious components, the hydroxyl radicals formed oxidize the odor and noxious components to non-odor offensive, environmentally acceptable by-product.
