Because of the metastability of the 23S level of He I, a variety of effects can change the line strengths from pure recombination values in Seyfert galaxies (see Feldman and MacAlpine 1978). This occurs because the population which builds up in the 23S level can be collisionally excited to the 23P level, enhancing λ10830. The expected ratios of λ10830/λ5876 can be altered by internal or external reddening and vary with temperature, density and optical depth.
