12、 unknown oil is identified by the similarity of itsinfrared spectrum with that of a potential source oil obtainedfrom a known source,selected because of its possible relation-ship to the unknown oil.5.3 The analysis is capable of comparing most oils.Diffi-culties may be encountered if a spill occurs
