The perhydroxyl species HO2 has been observed in 1 atm H2-O2-N2 flames and its flame concentration determined as a function of flame composition and position. Also the oxidation of small additions of CO to these flames has been observed and the results favor the reaction OH + CO -> CO2 + H, rather than the alternative process, HO2 + CO -> CO2 +OH.
