Investigations showed that the oxygen flask method can be successfully applied to the assay of C/sup 14/ in halogenic compounds. No modification of the standard procedure is required after the combusion of chlorinated compounds, which results in a slight lowering of the counting efficiency. To obtain reliable and reproducible results it is necessary to modify the method after burning substances containing bromine and iodine. The incorporation of l0% v/v 2- pentene in the phosphor prevents considerable reduction in counting efficiency encountered after the combustion of brominated samples. (P.C.H.)
