Abstract
For a long time the preparation and measurement of test atmospheres have been of concern to those involved with animal exposure experimentation. Test gas and vapor mixtures must be produced continuously and dynamically to prevent a build-up of unwanted contaminants in the exposure chamber. We will discuss the general production techniques of gas and vapor mixtures (1). We will also discuss several methods that can be used to monitor the concentration of the test atmospheres. In addition, we will describe an ideal system for the production of controlled test atmospheres.
