Maclachlan 1   , PID Analyzers, LLC , 2 Washington Circle, #4, Sandwich, MA, 02563, United States Title:  Improved quantitation of sulfur compounds in the atmosphere by hyphenated GC-FPD-PID Abstract Body:  The flame photometric detector (FPD) for gas chromatography has a high selectivity for sulfur compared to carbon. When a S compound is burned in a hydrogen rich flame, the excited species S 2 * is formed with the emission of blue light at 394 nm when it returns to the ground state. The response for various sulfur compounds then is proportional to the squ
