N2  - This study measures the persistence of gasoline and kerosene on various unburned substrate materials. Some of the most common materials normally encountered in casework were chosen--shoes, clothing, wood and carpet materials. For comparison purposes, both indoor and outdoor experiments were conducted. Results show that relative volatility, surrounding temperature, and the absorption characteristics of the substrate are important factors in determining the evaporation rate of the petroleum product. Information such as this illustrates the importance of timeliness in sample collection by the fire investigator.<p />
