Abstract
A model in which low velocity shocks in molecular clouds periodically return grain mantle material to the gas provides an understanding of the observed high C : CO ratio observed in a variety of objects; of the low fractional abundance of molecules observed in some quiescent dark clouds; and of the process limiting the accretion of molecules on to grains.
