Abstract
An apparatus is described for the continuous and ultrasensitive measurement of air-borne tracer substances, based on direct analysis with an electron capture detector which uses ambient air as the carrier gas following the chemical conversion of indigenous oxygen to water. Optimal sensitivity and stability are achieved by the use of synchronous detection. The apparatus has potential application in the increasingly important study of the transport and diffusion of gases both on a local scale and over continental distances.
