| Abstract |
This safety guide provides information on the health hazards associated with harmful optical radiation, except laser radiation (especially eye and skin injuries). It explains the physical properties of light, ultraviolet and infrared radiation and presents the TLVs for optical radiation established by the American Conference of Government Hygienists, used as guidelines (Denmark has not yet established its own exposure limits for optical radiation). The report gives advice on preventive measures and provides several practical examples of common radiation sources, their health hazards and suggested safety measures. |
