s on certain frequencies or wavelengths of individual functional groups or components. New physical phenomena appear in consideration of the integral systems which absorb radiation. For example, EPS is based on the regularities of the correlation of physico-chemical properties and integral spectral characteristics for UV or (and) visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum (so-called law ''spectrum-properties''). Color is also an integral characteristic of a visible spectrum. Therefore, the consequence of this is so-called law ''color-properties''. All this allow the use of EPS methods for studying individual and complex multicomponent substances. Methods of EPS were developed after 1988 by the group of Mikhail Yu Dolomatov. The EPS methods belong to number of new effective techniques of monitoring and control and can be used in
