Snowpacks are active locations for numerous environmentally relevant chemical reactions. Some of these reactions are enhanced because snowpacks contain small regions of disordered water molecules, known as bulk liquid-like regions (LLR), located within the ice matrix or quasi-liquid layers (QLL) at the surface of ice crystals. These chemical reactions can release pollutants into the atmosphere, acting as sinks for contaminants. Among the several species involved in these reactions, nitrate is of particular interest. Nitrate (NO -
