The possible effect of a net difference in the ion bombardment flux to the surface of Io on the ratio of the reflectance spectra is investigated. Io's vapor-deposited surface layers are simulated by a laboratory-produced film of vapor-deposited SO2 with a small admixture (about 3 percent) of H2S and (about 0.1 percent) H2O. It is shown that the reflectance ratio in the UV/visible of the surface bombarded by keV ions to the unbombarded surface is surprisingly similar to the observed ratio of Io's trailing to leading hemispherical reflectance. The changes produced are either structural or involve products of species originally present in the sample.
