The reactions between O and N atoms and certain interstellar molecules (H2S, NH3, H2CO, CH3 OH, C2 H5 OH) are studied using the dynamicalflowing after glow method. It is found that NH and OH radicals are formed which can be used as a diagnostic probe to differentiate between interstellar shocked and heated regions.
