A collection of research papers related to the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy techniques in the Oil Testing Kit.

###Tangential research

I found lots of papers that mentioned other pollutant detection techniques, so I thought I'd list some of them here too:

Hussain, T., and M. A. Gondal. "Monitoring and assessment of toxic metals in Gulf War oil spill contaminated soil using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy." Environmental monitoring and assessment 136.1-3 (2008): 391-399.
