Abstract The mathematical model presented in this paper describes in detail the gas-phase chemistry (22 reactions), gas-phase/liquid-phase equilibrium (18 equilibria) and liquid-phase chemistry (57 reactions and equilibria) in a stratiform cloud system. The model is used to analyze the influence of the liquid phase on the photooxidant formation and destruction for different gaseous SO2 concentrations with and without consideration of organic aqueous phase chemistry. It has been shown that for [SO2]〉1 ppb the cloud is quantitatively a sink for H2O2, OH, HO2 and O3. The ozon destruction via O3+O2 -, which is most important in remote areas, is in polluted areas only significant at summer days. The role of organic components in cloud water consists in the transformation OH → HO2 where HO2 is further transformed into H2O2.
