Comments: The overall quantum efficiency of photolysis under atmospheric conditions (wavelength range 290-400 nm) was determined 
to be 1.00 ± 0.05. The atmospheric photolysis of chloral produced phosgene, CO, and Cl atoms with molar yields of 0.83 ± 0.04, 1.01 ± 0.05, 
and 1.18 ± 0.06, respectively.
