In a search for very high density regions, the Millimeter Wave Observatory 5 m telescope was used to observe several submillimeter lines. The cores of M17, S140, and NGC 2024 were observed in the CS(J = 7→6), H2CO(JK-1 K1 = 515→414), and HCN(J = 4→3) lines. These data are combined with data at millimeter wavelengths to derive the volume density. If only the highest excitation CS and H2CO lines are compared, there is evidence for some densities up to about 107cm-3, but the uncertainties are large.
