Chloromethane release from carbonaceous meteorite affords new insight into Mars lander findings

Controversy continues as to whether chloromethane (CH(3)Cl) detected during pyrolysis of Martian soils by the Viking and Curiosity Mars landers is indicative of organic matter indigenous to Mars. Here we demonstrate CH(3)Cl release (up to 8 μg/g) during low temperature (150–400°C) pyrolysis of the c...
