[Nhcoll-l] Humidity in collection rooms

[Callomon,Paul]

I'd be interested to know if there are any published studies of the spark ignition of ethanol vapors - perhaps others would too, so if you know of any - chime in! My experience with other volatiles, such as gasoline, is that spark ignition is unlikely once even a moderate amount of dissipation in air has occurred, but also that such vapors can create "trails" in still, dense air (linking, for example, the pouring point with the spot at which the container was put down and capped).
