  "term": "Laser-Induced Fluorescence Sensor",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "A cone penetrometer mounted sensor that is a real-time, in situ, field screening method for petroleum hydrocarbons and other contaminants, as well as lithologic parameters. Cone penetrometer mounted sensors are used to perform field screening and site characterization for PAHs and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) such as diesel and jet fuel, gasoline, waste oil, heating fuel, and kerosene, in soil and ground water, as well as the lithologic parameters (pH, redox potential, conductivity, soil type, and other factors).",
