Abstract

Constant small quantities (0.1 to 100 micrograms per hour) of mustard (H) or lewisite (L) gas may be obtained by allowing the vapor to diffuse through a porous alundum plug of suitable dimensions. By regulating the rate of flow of air past the plug known concentrations of the gases in air may be obtained.
