The intensity of fluorescence of thallium has been measured in hydrogen-oxygen flames diluted with each of the gases, argon, helium, nitrogen and carbon dioxide and the measurements used to obtain the following values for the quenching cross section (Å 2 ) for the 7 s 2 S ½ state of thallium σ 2 H 2 = 0.03, σ 2 O 2 = 13.2 ± 1.5, σ 2 N 2 = 6.4 ± 0.2, σ 2 H 2 O = 1.75 ± 0.2, σ 2 CO = 13.6 ± 0.8, σ 2 CO 2 = 32.5 ± 1.5, σ 2 Ar ≤ 0.1, σ 2 He ≤ 0.12. These values for the cross sections have been used to re-calculate the rate constants of the reactions, Tl + H + X → H X + Tl*, where X = H, OH, Cl or Br, from the data obtained by Phillips & Sugden (1961). The re-calculated values are lower than the original ones by a factor of 2.2.
