Oxidation of CH4 provides the major source for atmospheric H2, which is removed mainly by reaction with OH. Biological activity at earth's surface appears to represent at most a minor sink for H2. Anthropogenic activity is a significant source for both H2 and CO in the present atmosphere and may be expected to exert a growing influence in the future. Models are presented which suggest a rise in the mixing ratio of H2 from its present value of 5.6 ten-millionths to about 1.8 millionths by the year 2100. The mixing ratio of CO should grow from 9.7 hundred-millionths to 2.3 ten-millionths over the same time period, and there should be a rise in CH4 by about a factor of 1.5 associated with anthropogenically induced reductions in tropospheric OH.
