At various waevlengths? Spectral graphs?

Hello,

I have never met with data about this but it is necessary to distinguish whether it is a sweat with acidic or alkalinity pH. There is a different composition and different fluid dynamics depending on the pH. Surely it will be affected on light absorption coefficient.
