It has been checked if the "limits of the acceptable doses of ultraviolet radiation of monochromatic radiation at the workplace" (NIOSH-standard of USA) are adhered to in the vicinity of welders' work stations in a factory hall. For recording of UV-doses polysulphon films have been used. According to these investigations non-welders are exposed to doses of UV-radiation which exceed the limits recommended by about eight times. Clinical examinations of these persons showed chronic damage of the external parts of the eyes in a higher percentage than in a control group. It is pointed to the necessity of taking protective measures to shield persons working in the vicinity of welding job sites from ultraviolet radiation.
已检查工厂车间内焊工工作站附近是否符合“工作场所单色辐射紫外线辐射的可接受剂量限值”（美国国家职业安全与健康研究所标准）。为记录紫外线剂量，使用了聚砜薄膜。根据这些调查，非焊工所接触的紫外线辐射剂量超过推荐限值约八倍。对这些人员的临床检查表明，其眼部外部慢性损伤的比例高于对照组。指出有必要采取防护措施，保护在焊接作业现场附近工作的人员免受紫外线辐射。
