In principle, a positive electric field should lead outward convection for impurities, but this was not the case of W7-AS plasmas with core electron root and positive ion root at intermediate radial positions <ref>Baldzuhn 1999 PPCF, Hirsch 2008 PPCF</ref>. We will nevertheless keep an eye on the radiation signals from the bolometers as they can provide (when normalized by the electron density) an indication of the impurity content of the plasma.
