Journal ArticleDOI
Determining of Crystalline Silica in Respirable Dust Samples by Infrared Spectrophotometry in the Presence of Interferences
TL;DR: By comparing the quantifying results for the mixture samples, it was revealed that the interfered spectra were almost corrected successfully when using the difference spectrum method, whereas correction by the absorbance ratio method resulted in apparent negative errors.
Book ChapterDOI
Evaluation of blue-light hazards from various light sources.
TL;DR: The sun, arc welding, plasma cutting and the arc of discharge lamps were found to have extremely high effective radiances with corresponding permissible exposure times of only 0.6-40 s, suggesting that viewing these light sources is very hazardous to the retina.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraviolet Radiation Emitted by CO2 Arc Welding
TL;DR: It was found that UVR from CO(2) arc welding is actually hazardous for the eye and skin, and the effective irradiance is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the arc, is strongly dependent on the direction of emission from the arcs, and tends to increase with welding current.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is suggested that effective protection of welders from the exposure can be attained by use of the supplied-air respirator or combined use of a dust respirator and a local exhaust system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blue-light hazard from CO2 arc welding of mild steel
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral radiance of arcs in CO(2) arc welding of mild steel was measured for solid and flux-cored wires at welding currents of 120-480 A. The effective blue-light radiance ranged from 22.9 to 213.1 Wcm(-2)sr(-1).
