Ocular exposure to infrared radiation in the Swedish iron and steel industry.

Abstract:

:This study was carried out to determine the level of potentially off-damaging infrared (IR) radiation in the iron and steel industry. Determinations of IR radiation were made in different positions in many types of processes. Forging was found to give the highest radiant exposure to the eyes, while workers in electrosteel mills are considerably less exposed.
