Abstract
Tracer gas experiments are a powerful tool for predicting immissions i f the meteorological conditions are difficult to model. The tracer use d must be untoxic, environmentally unobjectionable and chemically iner t. In addition a low background concentration is required. The present study shows that sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) is a suitable gas for suc h field experiments. The investigation method is presented and an exam ple is given.
