| Abstract |
A brief review of the hazards of ultraviolet visible and infrared radiation to the human eye, followed by a description of various plastic materials developed to provide protection against welding arcs, laser beams and nuclear flash. Mention is also made of a high-absorption plastic film which acts as a thermal barrier by stopping more than 75% of the solar heat, and of the protection afforded by plastic sunglass lenses. |
