The fluorescence of quinine in 0.8 N H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ is destroyed on the absorption of ionizing radiation. Maximum initial G values of 2.3 are obtained for initial quinine sulfate concentrations greater than 1 ppm. Measurement of the fluorescence of quinine solutions containing initial concentrations of quinine sulfate between 0.1 ppm and 1 ppm provide a convenient and reproducible method of determining absorbed doses between 10 and 1000 rads.
