متن کاملOccupational exposure to ultraviolet radiation: the duality dilemma.
Human exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a component of everyday life and a significant hazard for outdoor workers. In addition, a large range of artificial sources also has the potential to provide extreme occupational UV exposure. Even though the human health risks of overexposure to UV are well documented, to date relatively little is known quantitatively about UV exposure. For exampl...
متن کاملoccupational exposure to infrared radiation in aluminum and cast-iron foundries in zanjan, iran
the harmful effects of the long-term ocular exposure to cumulative levels of infrared radiation (ir) in glassblowing and foundries have been recognized since the late 19th century. these effects include cataracts, keratitis, and chronic dry eye problems. therefore, infrared radiation measurements are critical and need to be assessed regularly in the industries and workplaces where there are hig...
