| Abstract |
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can damage the eye (cataract, conjunctivitis) and the skin (erythema, cancer). Published values for the UV emission of different models of tungsten halogen lamps show that some of them can expose users to levels above typical exposure limits at distances less than 1m. Excessive exposure can be prevented by fitting the lamps with screens or by mounting them more than 1m from potentially exposed persons. |
