For anyone who, having a scientific bent, would like to know the ionization energies and photon cross sections of molecular pollutants like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, NO
2, SF
6, carbon monoxide, etc, etc, here's a cool reference for you:

Typical maxima for many such molecules undergoing photoionization are unsurprisingly in the short wave length UV and in the X-Ray region.
When I was a young man, I used to love to look at data tables and graphs all evening for various systems. I haven't done it as much in recent years, but it's a fun to do it again.
Esoteric maybe, but cool, and for environmental scientists and engineers, of some practical interest.
