Title Exposure to ultraviolet radiation at the workplace, dose-effect relations and preventive measures from an ergonomic point of view
Original title UV-Expositionen am Arbeitsplatz, Dosis-Wirkung-Beziehungen und Schutzmassnahmen aus ergonomischer Sicht [in German]
Bibliographic information Mar. 1993, Vol.43, No.3, p.78-93. Illus. 29 ref.
Abstract Ultraviolet radiation may be a health hazard. Little attention has been given to risks associated with exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) at work. Controlled studies with quantitative measurements, and their evaluation, have been performed in rare cases only. This review discusses the exposure limits established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. Preventive measures against UV exposure are suggested. Discussion of topics for further research.
