Description
At some point, we might want to think about implementing cosmic ray attenuation within the ISM chemistry networks. The simplest way is to attenuate the cosmic ray ionization rate as a function of the gas column density (e.g, following Appendix E of Padovani et al. 2020). But maybe @markkrumholz has better ideas. Creating an issue here for future reference.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating the ISM chemistry networks and reviewing the proposed column-density attenuation in Appendix E of Padovani et al. 2020; the issue needs a decided attenuation model and implementation scope before completion can be defined.
