Abstract
An atmospheric absorption system of molecular oxygen and water has been detected and identified in apatites. Such a phenomenon is firstly described in solids. Our results confirm that molecular oxygen and water may be accommodated by structural incorporation in the channels of the apatite structure. A reabsorption spectrum represents a new spectroscopic tool which gives direct evidence of such existence.
