Abstract
Fluorescein dispersed as powder into the air of occupied rooms was extracted in measurable quantities from dust after as many as twenty previous sweepings.The value of fluorescein in showing the rate of removal of dust from occupied environments is discussed in relation to the transfer of infection.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
