[Bases for allowable norms of infrared radiation exposure in accordance with the radiation spectrum].

Specification of norms is the most radical protective means in a system of activities reducing harmful influence on human health. For effective work of norms, the authors specified hygienic classification covering industrial sources of infrared radiation. The classification is based on biologic effect peculiarities depending on maximal energy in the radiation spectrum. Requirements to measuring devices and measurement procedures were specified as well. Nowdays production of sensitive devices measuring the spectrum energy is launched in Ukraine, so it is time to put the novelties into practice.
