potentially analyse any tracer. Table 7.3 shows their background concentra-
tions in outdoor air.
It can be seen in Tables 7.2 and 7.4 that no tracer complies with all the
requirements. Moreover, because of possible interferences in the analyser
used for multi-tracer experiments, the use of a specific tracer may forbid the
use of several other interesting tracers.
A comparative experiment of the mixing of different tracers (SF
6
,N
2
O and
He) was performed to study the effect of density (Niemela
¨
et al., 1990). This
study shows that differences may occur when the tracer is at concentrations
higher than 10 per cent, for example, where it is not well mixed with air at
the injection location. However, density effect is not a major cause of error
for tracer gas measurements, and mixing can be improved (see ‘Mixing tracer
gases’, below).
Indeed, each tracer gas has some inconve niences: helium is too light and
requires an expensive mass spectrometer for analysis; neon is expensive; CO
2
is very cheap to obtain and to analyse but has a large background; N

O
interferes with water vapour; SF

has a strong greenhouse effect; freons and
halons destroy the ozone layer; and perfreons are adsorbed in furniture.
