Comments: Laboratory measurements of the UV absorption cross sections and photodissociation quantum yields of chloroacetone and
bromoacetone are presented.
The photodissociation quantum yields were determined to be 0.5 ± 0.08 and 1.0 ± 0.15 at 351 nm and 0.5 ± 0.08 and 1.6 ± 0.25 at 308 nm 
for chloroacetone and bromoacetone, respectively.
