Ultraviolet Radiation
Liquid chromatograph detectors that use an ultraviolet light source have shielding to
prevent radiation exposure to personnel.
For continued protection:
Ensure that protective lamp covers of variable and fixed wavelength
detectors are in place during operation.
Do not look directly into detector fluid cells or at the UV light source.
When inspecting the light source or fluid cell, always use protective eye
covering such as borosilicate glass or polystyrene.
Ozone can be generated by radiation from the source lamps. Exposure to
ozone can result in severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and upper
respiratory system. The maximum permissible exposure level is 0.1 ppm
(0.2 mg/m
3
) for 8 hours per day. ALWAYS ventilate the area surrounding
the detector such that the concentration of ozone does not exceed the
maximum permissible level. All venting must be to outside air, never
within the building.
