It is believed that as much as 10 billion metric tons of chloride enters the air mass through permeation each year, but just a tiny fraction does anything but fall back to the surface. The bit of chloride lingering in the air can react with nitrogen oxides, formed when fuel is burned at high temperature, to form nitryl chloride, a forerunner of chlorine atoms, the most reactive form of chlorine. Those atoms can contribute to smog formation in coastal areas.
