Abstract
THE various parameters on fading1–6 indicated experimentally are due to: the action of some constituents of the atmosphere, surrounding temperature, time of storage, and emulsion composition. Based on the available experimental evidence, the mechanism of fading is thought to be dependent on the oxidation of the development specks by atmospheric oxygen in the presence of water5.
