ABSTRACT:
The present invention teaches a chemiluminescent device along with a process for its production. The invention specifically relates to a chemiluminescent article of manufacture which includes a containment device and chemical system, both of which may be selected so as to be particularly susceptible to environmental degradation subsequent to their use. In a preferred embodiment the chemiluminescent device is categorized as being biodegradable, i.e. designed to be capable of losing its physical form and re-entering the environment.
