Very high-energy cosmic rays, on emerging from their places of origin, are subject to photodisintegration and energy degradation by blue-shifted photons. It is shown that the intense photon fields of supernova explosions, of quasistellar objects, and of one of the current pulsar models are able to cause complete disintegration of complex nuclei and significant energy losses of protons at energies consistent with observed changes in the cosmic-ray charge and energy spectrum, respectively.
