Ultraviolet safety assessments of insect light traps
Near-ultraviolet (UV-A: 315-400 nm), "black-light," electric lamps were invented in 1935 and ultraviolet insect light traps (ILTs) were introduced for use in agriculture around that time. Today ILTs are used indoors in several industries and in food-service as well as in outdoor settings. With recent interest in photobiological lamp safety, safety standards are being developed to test for poten...
متن کاملEffects on white Leghorn hens of constant exposure to ultraviolet light from insect traps.
Constant exposure of Hy-Line W-36 White Leghorn hens to ultraviolet light from insect traps resulted in no significant differences in egg production, fertility, hatchability of fertile eggs, or total hatchability. Also, there were no apparent effects on the eyes of the birds. Results were the same when either blacklight or blacklight blue tubes were used. The need for additional testing of ligh...
متن کاملEffects on commercial broiler chicks of constant exposure to ultraviolet light from insect traps.
Constant exposure of newly hatched Avian x Avian broilers to ultraviolet light from insect traps for 42 d resulted in no significant differences in mortality, weight gain, feed consumption, or feed conversion. Birds were exposed to greater intensities of ultraviolet light for longer periods than could be expected under commercial conditions. Although house flies are rarely a problem in broiler ...
متن کاملUltraviolet Light Traps: Design Affects Attraction and Capture
Traps that use ultraviolet light as an attractant for flies are widely used in urban situations. To determine the differences in trap efficacy from design and lighting, pairs of traps were compared under laboratory conditions. Comparisons were made between traps with open fronts and with traps with restricted open fronts, black light bulbs, and black light blue bulbs, and glue boards with and w...
متن کاملLight Traps
In the February 1992 issue of the American Mathematical Monthly, J. E. Connett [1] asked whether it is possible to construct a 'light trap': a re ective-sided container with the property that a beam of light, shone into it from an appropriate direction, would be re ected inside it over and over again and never escape. Connett suggests that such a trap might be of value as a device to store ligh...
