Measurements of Optical Radiation Hazards - 1999

ISBN 978-3-9804789-5-3

EUR 30,00

Measurements of Optical Radiation Hazards. A reference book based on presentations given by health and safety experts on optical radiation hazards, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA, September 1-3, 1998. Munich: ICNIRP / CIE-Publications; 1999.

Content: The intend of this publication is to provide guidance on how to measure intense light sources (i.e. UV, visible, and infrared) and evaluate the potential hazards to the eye or skin. In addition to measurements, calculations are usually required to compare the measured exposure with optical safety limits. This determines the hazard level of the source. This reference book offers a unique source with which to catch up on the latest developments in this important field. It is aimed but not limited to : industrial hygienists, health physicists, optical physicists, photobiologists, safety engineers and lighting engineers.
