Título Physiological importance of light for man
Título original Die physiologische Bedeutung des Lichtes für den Menschen [en alemán]
Información bibliográfica 1975, Vol.27, No.10, p.383-394. Illus. 40 ref.
Resumen In the course of its evolution the human eye has become fully adapted to daylight. Results of experiments on animals and human subjects show the relations which exist between light, on the one hand, and metabolic and enzyme activity, on the other. Referring to previous work, the authors consider possible physiological influence of artificial light on man: spectrum differences between artificial light and daylight, intensity, stress and blood picture; performance, monotony of artificial light. Conclusions: the artificial light spectrum is still very different from that of daylight; artificial light should be considered only as an adjunct to daylight; illumination levels should be chosen having regard to biological effect and not merely with a view to performance.
