Abstract

Mosquito-repellent chemicals tend to absorb far infrared radiation (below 600 cm.−1) more strongly than do non-repellents of comparable molecular weight. The correlation is probably less direct than was previously supposed, and is hardly strong enough to be used as a primary screening technique.
