used here purely for demonstration purposes. Indeed, there is good reason to suppose that most thermally stable reactive species can be generated in this manner. In a sense, the present results remove the "hardware" aspects from consideration in reactive gas generation and focus attention on the thermal properties of organic molecules. We also note that the majority of substances that are presently considered hazardous are, in fact, liquid or solids at ambient conditions and are not particularly unstable in the bulk. For such substances, generation can be effected without the pyrolyzer and obviously our observations with respect to reproducibility, precision, accuracy, and range will hold with equal, if not greater, force. Thus, this instrument may well provide a simple general solution to a difficult analytical problem. LITERATURE CITED(1) G.
