Abstract:
A dual source ionizer includes a first ionization source and a second
ionization source. The first ionization source is configured to generate
a first electric field. The first electric field has a first field
strength that is insufficient to form NO.sub.x.sup.- ions. The second
ionization source is configured to generate a second electric field. The
second electric field has a second field strength that is sufficient to
form ozone and the NO.sub.x.sup.- ions.Claims:
