    Gerneral Information

    Safety Measures
    When installing and employing UV lights, always observe the local authoritys recommendations for use, and the health and safety regulations applying locally. Eyes must always be pro- tected, and skin must be reliably protected against excessive radiation from the lights.

    Attention: the radiation from UV lights, whether direct or indirect, carries health risks for all forms of life.

    Because of the dissociation of molecular oxygen, UV radiation at a wavelength of less than approx. 200 nm causes ozone to be formed. In sufficient concentration, ozone is a poisonous gas. It can also damage mucous membranes. If concentra- tions of 1 to 2 ppm are experienced for several hours, the con- sequence can be chest pain, headache and dryness and/or irritation of the upper respiratory tract.
