If its of any use to anyone, a list of potential atmospheric gases is provided below. Edit (and copy) for the coding:

Typical Atmospheric Gases

  • nitrogen (N2)
  • oxygen (O2)
  • argon (Ar)
  • water vapor (H2O)
  • carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • neon (Ne)
  • ozone (O3)

Other Atmospheric Gases

  • carbon monoxide (CO)
  • sulfur dioxide (SO2)
  • ammonia (azane) (NH3)
  • nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
  • xenon (Xe)
  • radon (Rn)
  • hydrogen (H2)
  • hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
  • helium (He)
  • methane (CH4)
  • nitric oxide (NO)
  • phosphine (PH3)
  • hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
  • nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
  • ammonium hydrosulfide ((NH4)HS)
  • ammonia hydrosulfide (H5NS)
  • nitrogen trichloride (trichloramine) (NCl3)
  • chlorine (Cl)
  • ethane (C2H6)
  • acetylene (C2H2)
  • diacetylene (C4H2)
  • propane (C3H8)

And also, a list of potential taints:

  • the extremely high atmospheric pressure, which causes tremors, drowsiness, breathing difficulties (including oxygen toxicity) and decreased neural activity.
  • the low percentage of atmospheric oxygen.
  • the high percentage of atmospheric oxygen.
  • the high percentage of atmospheric carbon dioxide / carbon monoxide / sulfur dioxide / hydrogen sulfide.
  • the high percentage of inert gases principally argon / neon / xenon.
  • trace airborne contaminants of organic origin that produce a psychological response in humans. Effects might include euphoria, mania or hallucinations, and range in severity from mild to extreme.
  • an extremely unpleasant odour (floral fragrances, excrement, sulfur compounds)
  • large amounts of airborne silicates and dust.
  • concentrations of airborne heavy metals.
  • airborne radioactive dust: radiation levels exceed X rads per hour.
  • the relatively high levels of background radiation: emission rates exceed X rads per hour.
  • the lack of water vapor in the atmosphere.
  • concentrations of airborne toxins of organic origin.
  • allergenic spores and pollens of organic origin.
  • high concentrations of chlorine and fluorine, typically of geochemical origin.
  • gases and sulfur compounds of volcanic origin.
  • nitrogen compounds (ammonia, nitrogen monoxide).
  • pollution, current or past, typically of industrial origin
