Is it safe? by Bigdog http://uv-air-purifier.info/uv-c-light-and-exposure-to-your-eyes-and-body-is-it-safe/#comment-58 Bigdog Tue, 20 Mar 2007 21:53:11 +0000 http://uv-air-purifier.info/uv-c-light-and-exposure-to-your-eyes-and-body-is-it-safe/#comment-58 As Doug mentioned in the article above, it is temporary. You need to attempt to protect yourself from UV-C light, as it will continue to give you discomfort as long as you come in contact with it. Not sure of the continued contact of UV-C over a long period of time on your health. I am not an expert in this particular area. As Doug mentioned in the article above, it is temporary.

Germicidal lamps are designed to emit UVC radiation because of its ability to kill bacteria. In humans, UVC is absorbed in the outer dead layers of the epidermis. Accidental overexposure to UVC can cause corneal burns, commonly termed welders' flash, and snow blindness, a severe sunburn to the face. While UVC injury usually clears up in a day or two, it can be extremely painful. Source: http://www.hps.org/hpspublications/articles/uv.html I'll also ad that I've been over-exposed twice, once for about 60 seconds and once for about 15 seconds. The first time I did get flash burn and had to wear sun glasses for a couple days. The second time I just had dis-comfort for a few hours. When you're exposed you don't feel it for about 8 or 10 hours, just like the sunburn you get on the beach, you don't feel it until much later. I've had annual eye tests and no damage to the eyes, just temporary damage when it happened. I work with UV germicidal light daily so exposure is always possible in my field. No known cases have ever been permanent, just temporary discomfort. It's the same damage you get from welders flash, as the article states.

Exposure to UV-C light will generally heal. Exposure to the eyes over an extended period can be harmful, so it must be avoided. On the skin, it is like a bad sunburn. Not too sure on internal organs. Internet could answer this for you. There is a lot of information on the web about this. Exposure to UV-C light will generally heal.
