TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Transfer of glass fragments when bottles and drinking glasses are broken JO - Science and justice A1 - Irwin, Margaret SP - 16 EP - 18 VL - 51 IS - 1 N2 - Experiments have been carried out to determine if and how many glass fragments are transferred onto upper garments following breakage of bottles and drinking glasses. In all instances glass was transferred. The numbers of transferred fragments after a bottle is broken ranges from three to twenty five. The numbers of fragments transferred following the breakage of a drinking glass ranges from three to approximately one hundred and twenty. On average three times the amount of glass is transferred following breakage of a drinking glass as compared to breakage of a bottle.
