Sm. Steinberg et al., A REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS OF LUMINESCENCE TO MONITORING OF CHEMICAL CONTAMINANTS IN THE ENVIRONMENT, Chemosphere, 28(10), 1994, pp. 1819-1857
The recent analytical literature on the application of luminescence te
chniques to the measurement of various classes of environmentally sign
ificant chemicals has been reviewed. Luminescent spectroscopy based me
thods are compared to other current techniques. Also, examples of rece
ntly developed applications of luminescence to environmental monitorin
g are provided. The advantages and disadvantages of luminescence measu
rements for field screening measurements are discussed.
