other than ozone. T h e duration of t h e transient response is several measurement cycles. Thus, when a point source plume containing a sufficiently high concentration of a n interferent is traversed a t a speed of about 200 km/h, the UV instrument will give a “plume-like” response t h a t closely correlates with the aerosol profile in the plume. This, however, is an artifact. For such studies a chemiluminescent ozone instrument is highly desirable.
