Let be the number of particles of gas in a bounded Lebesgue measurable set . Because Lebesgue measure is diffuse, two independent spatial Poisson point processes have no common particle almost surely. Hence the mixture count is
Writing , independence gives the probability generating function
Thus
If are pairwise disjoint, the family
is independent: counts in disjoint sets are independent within each gas, and the two gases are independent. Therefore the sums are independent. These two facts prove directly that the mixture is a Poisson point process. By the Superposition theorem for Poisson point processes, its activity is
