Title Hazards of exposure to ultraviolet radiation - Metal-halogen lamps
Original title Risques d'exposition aux rayonnements ultraviolets - Lampes aux halogènes métalliques [in French]
Bibliographic information Jan. 1996, No.544, p.44-46. Illus. 3 ref.
Abstract Study of the risk of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from metal-halogen lamps incurred by persons making daily measurements in climate chambers: review of the effect of UV and visible radiation on the eye and the skin, evaluation of the risks, results (exposure levels below recognized exposure limits at all wavelengths). Metal halogen lamps with a single (quartz) wall are a greater hazard that ones with double walls (an inner one of quartz and an outer one of glass).
