Scientific paper

An attempt is made to develop the simplest model of the photochemistry to the Martian atmosphere which fits experimental data without adjustment of the reaction rate coefficients. Based on gas phase models of CO2-H2O chemistry, it is concluded that odd hydrogen reactions are effective enough to provide smaller amounts of CO and O3 than measured. Nitrogen chemistry may be important and should be taken into account. Even the very low sulfur amount of 10 exp -8 can contribute substantially to the Martian photochemistry. Ozone turns out to be the best tracer of the photochemistry.
