"A salt of Europium is a component of the newer phosphorescent powders and paints, some of which will glow for days after a few minutes of exposure to light." I don't think this is possible (allthough it may be). I have commented it out in article page (< !-- -->). Please find some relevant source. --Borislav Dopudja 16:09, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
