Triboluminescence : A Possible Indicator of Exposure to Radiation – The Chernobyl Accident

Abstract

Proposes use of the triboluminescence of blood and condensed exhaled air products (which accompanies mechano‐chemi‐emission effects in biological objects) as a quantative test of levels of exposure, for example, to radiation. Describes trial of this technique on victims of the Chernobyl accident. Offers an explanatory model.
