Ozonization of Oxygen by the Low Pressure Mercury Vapor Quartz Lamp (4)

Comparison of biocidal and sporicidal effects of spark discharge plasma and mercury-vapor low pressure lamp radiations

In this work it was shown that the inactivation micromycets spore (fungi) to hot plasma radiation of self-sustained spark discharge on air is much more effectively than UVradiation mercury-vapor lamp. Though the discharge electrical power is 15 times and UVphotons flux 430 times more for mercury lamp than for spark discharge. Discussed method inactivation is very simple.

Frequency domain fluorimetry using a mercury vapor lamp

Frequency Domain (FD) fluorimetry, capitalizes on the frequency response function of a fluorophore and offers independence from light scatter and excitation/emission intensity variations in order to extract the sample's fluorescent lifetime. Mercury vapor lamps, a common source of industrial facility lighting, emit radiation that overlaps the UV/blue absorption spectrum of many fluorophores and...

Cases of acute mercury poisoning by mercury vapor exposure during the demolition of a fluorescent lamp factory

BACKGROUND In 2015, workers dismantling a fluorescent lamp factory in Korea were affected by mercury poisoning from exposure to mercury vapor. CASE PRESENTATION Eighteen out of the 21 workers who participated in the demolition project presented with symptoms of poisoning and, of these, 10 had persistent symptoms even at 18 months after the initial exposure to mercury vapor. Early symptoms of ...

Photolytic decomposition of saccharides with a high-output, low-pressure mercury lamp for voltammetric trace analysis.

Phototoxic maculopathy induced by quartz infrared heat lamp

RATIONALE A large proportion of the output of quartz infrared heat lamps is emitted as infrared radiation (IR). Retinal damage induced by IR-A and visible light on arc welders has been reported. However, case reports of retinal damage caused by quartz infrared heat lamps are rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of phototoxic maculopathy induced by quartz infrared ...
