✦ Synopsis


Fast response flame ionisation detectors react to small combustible particles in the gas stream as well as to ionisable gases, producing unwanted large, short duration spikes in the output signal. During some wind tunnel dispersion modelling experiments, this problem arose due to sampling the atmospheric aerosol. An effective solution to the problem was found, which is described.
