transport interference in flame spectroscopy

Transport interferences affect the amount of desolvated sample passing through the horizontal flame cross-section per unit time at the observation height. They include factors affecting the rate of liquid consumption, $F l$ , the efficiency of nebulization, $ɛ n$ , and the fraction desolvated $β s$ . They may be classified as non-specific (and physical).
