The fluorescence emission and excitation spectra of a variety of lubricating oils have been investigated. All samples showed an intense fluorescence in the ultra-violet region, and this was made the basis of a sensitive method for the determination of oil mist in air. Less than 1 pg of oil mist per litre of air can be determined.* Presented a t the meeting of the Society on Wednesday, November 4th, 1959.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
