  • Page 8: Classification And Danger Levels

    LZR LASER WELDER USERS GUIDE The extent of damages due to radiation absorption depends on the wavelength. The short wavelengths (ultra- violet UV-C 180-280nm, UV-B 180-280nm, UV-A 315-400nm) generally provoke and cause photochemistry effects: cataract or opacification of the lens in the eye, blackening or reddening for the skin. Major wavelengths (infrared: IR-a 780-1400nm IR-c 3000-10 E6nm) generally provoke thermal effects: retinal detachment and pho- tocoagulation for the eye, burning for the skin.
