Title: Development of luminescence procedures to evaluate permeation of multi-ring polyaromatic compounds through protective materials

Journal Article · · Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc. J.; (United States)

This study describes two practical and simple luminescence techniques developed to evaluate the efficacy of protective clothing materials against permeation of multi-ring polyaromatic compounds contained in heavy oil and petroleum products. The procedures use a rapid and simple technique based on room temperature phosphorimetry and fluorescence detection in which a portable fiberoptics luminoscope was used.
