Optical spectroscopy study on the quality of used engine oil / Nor Nadiah Norzemi

One of the current global concerns today is on the pollution happened to the environment caused by used engine oil. Some studies say that oil pollution caused twenty years for the environment to recover to its original condition and a gallon of oil can pollute a million gallons of fresh water [1]. D...
