月壤过程对月球环境中挥发性元素的丰度、分布、迁移和演化起着非常重要的作用。粉碎作用、侵蚀作用、侧向和垂直迁移作用以及均一化作用对挥发性微量元素有直接影响。月壤的粒度、胶结物含量和成熟度也影响挥发性元素的地球化学。微陨石坑、胶结物形成和角砾岩形成都是在高温下发生的，它们影响着月球表面和近地表环境中挥发性元素的分布和迁移，目前月壤中挥发性元素的地球化学信息主要来自于月壤分析。月壤的起源和构成有着复杂多变的历史：它们由岩屑、单个矿物颗粒、玻璃、凝集物和陨石成分组成。这些碎片或组件中的每一个的过去历史都是复杂的。这一记录是重要的，必须考虑在解释的观测分析结果的挥发性微量元素在月球土壤中的丰度。本文将讨论月球土壤中碳、氮和硫的丰度和分布。碳和氮主要来源于月球土壤和角砾岩，而硫主要来源于月球。影响碳、氮运动、分布和演化的月球过程。硫，钠，钾和铷在风化过程中将被讨论。将考虑可能导致这些挥发性元素在月球上增加或损失的可能机制。
Regolith processes play a very important role in the abundances, distributions, movements and evolution of volatile elements in the lunar environment. Comminution, erosional, lateral and vertical transport, and homogenization processes have a direct effect upon the volatile trace elements. A lunar soil's grain size, agglutinate content and maturity also influence the volatile element's geochemistry. Micrometeorite cratering, agglutinate formation and breccia formation occur at elevated temperatures and effect the distribution and movement of the volatile elements within the surface and near-surface environment of the Moon.At the present time most of the geochemical information on the volatile elements within the lunar regolith have resulted from the analysis of lunar soils. Lunar soils have complex and variable histories with regard to their origin and makeup: they are composed of lithic fragments, individual mineral grains, glass, agglutinates, and meteoritic components. The past history of each of these fragments or components is complex. This record is important and must be considered in the interpretations of the observed analytical results for the volatile trace element abundances in lunar soils. This review will consider the abundances and distributions of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur in lunar soils. Carbon and nitrogen have a predominantly extralunar origin in lunar soils and breccias while sulfur is mostly indigenous to the Moon. The lunar processes which effect the movement, distribution, and evolution of carbon, nitrogen. sulfur, sodium, potassium and rubidium during regolith processes will be discussed. Possible mechanisms which may result in the addition to or loss from the Moon of these volatile elements will be considered.
