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. |
