Washes and wipes

I am their crude and their sublimate, their precipitate and their unctuous, their male and their female, sometimes their hermaphrodite what they list to style me. It is I that am corroded and exalted and sublimed and reduced and fetched over and filtered and washed and wiped what between their salts and their sulfurs, their oils and their tartars, their brines and their vinegars, you might take me out now a soused Mercury, now a salted Mercury, now a smoked and dried Mercury, now a powdered and pickled Mercury, (cited in Abraham 1998, 74)... 

One important feature of these results is that the CR values represent uptake of Pu by plants in an environment where resuspension or surface contamination of foliage is not considered to be a serious problem. Furthermore, leaf surfaces were washed and wiped clean before samples were processed for Pu analysis.

Cameras may be fixed or movable imder remote control, such as those used for motorway traffic monitoring.

Washing or wiping the skin can remove chemical deposits, and chemical concentrations can be measured (Durham and Wolfe, 1962 Davis, 1980). Wash techniques are generally used only to assess hand exposure, while wiping techniques can, in theory, be applied to other skin surfaces.

For several days I explained to the laboratory crew of soldiers and civilians how we measured gas concentrations by electrical resistance in a water solution, and they planned to set up such a system. Each Saturday morning the laboratory staff stopped their work, dismantled their apparatus, cleared everything off the laboratory benches, washed and dried the table tops, and swept the room. The commanding officer carried out his weekly inspection. He walked into the room accompanied by two junior officers, quickly glanced around the room, wiped a finger over the top of the laboratory bench, noted that his finger was clean, and marched out of the room. 

For each series of experiments, the same stainless steel coupon (4 cm X 3.5 cm X 0.1 cm) was precleaned, coated with the test contaminant, and then placed in the autoclave for testing. For precleaning, the coupon was either washed first in a chloroform bath, rinsed with acetone, and then dipped in an acetone bath or immersed in a 1,1,1-trichloroethane bath and wiped with a tissue to remove any residue. After precleaning, the coupon was weighed to determine when the mass of the coupon was within 0.1 mg of its original weight. This was set as the standard for perfect cleanness of the coupon.
