Chemical composition of impact-produced fireballs on Europa is estimated. Properties of photolysis-generated Na atoms are considered. Meteoroid bombardment leads to enrichment of D/H ratio in water ice and destruction of complex organic compounds on Europa. Previous possible detection of cometary impacts on Europa is still very tentative. Micrometeoroid source of Europa’s exosphere can be studied by mass spectrometers on board future Europa landers.
