Use of a fiber-optics skin contamination monitor in the workplace

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5290624
;
This paper describes the luminoscope, a simple laboratory-constructed, portable luminescence detector designed specifically for monitoring occupational skin contamination. The instrument design is based upon a fiberoptics waveguide. The instrument is suitable for detecting trace amounts of various coal tars and has recently been field tested at a coal conversion facility.
