Abstract
The authors report on the electrosurgical interaction process, which includes a new model describing the generation of harmful emission products. Fluorescence spectroscopic measurements of the plasma, generated during treatment, show that the molecules typically in tissue observed are completely destroyed into C/sub 2/, CN, CH, OH radicals. They react inter alia to harmful chemicals, detected in the smoke by a combined system of gaschromatograph/mass spectrometer. Therefore, their chemical structure is independent on the basic carbon chains.
