I use a 40 UV led torch mostlt for ID of minerals both underground and in my home lab, an interesting experiment uopn well and spring water gave a pink (from calcite) glow while a location in cornwall UK from water falling from an old mine gave a green (very bright) glow, micro chemical analysis proved the green to be due to Uranium in the water falling onto the beach below, the U content was less that 0,2ppm, the old mine did give U in the past before 1800 (year).this same sample 2.5 Lt was concentrated via evaporation to 1 ml then all precipitated solids where taken up into solotion in dil Nitric acid, the nitrate of U is very green fluorescent. the location at Carbis Bay near St Ives cornwall is the only location so far that I have found with U in the water. The fluoro of the eye may be due to Niacin or nicotinic acid, I have the same fluoro in my eyes, hope this is of some interest.Christine Haz has observed a 'fog' with UV..this may be due to Cigarette smoke which does fluoro due to organics in the smoke or it could be due to (and most likely) to be the fluoro in her eye, this is normal but not reccomended too frequently. david bradbury..UK Interesting results frum UV LW and I have observed similar, also have you noticed the diff colour of skin texture and scar tissue.

Right away I noticed that when I looked at the floor, everything was clear. When I looked at my friends, the walls etc, everything appeared to have a fog in front of it. I asked everyone if they experience this, they said no, they thought I was crazy. Then, they all noticed my eyes glowing...none of theirs were...why were only mine glowing? Why was I seeing everything in a fog? I went to play black light mini-golf with 4 friends. Right away I noticed that when I looked at the floor, everything was clear.
