The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) lists recommended limits in their publication "Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents". The limits are for wave lengths of 770nm to 3um and are intended to protect the eye. Their web page is www.acgih.org <http://www.acgih.org> .

Can some comment on this ? Can Infrared radiation (not Laser) be hazardous ? Obviously, high enough IR intensity should be hazardous. As the eye may not blink under exposure to IR (as the eye can not see it) the natural eye protection mechanism may not function. Any standards, guidelines available for permissible exposure limits to Infra red radiation ? Many thanks to every contribution ! with Best Regards, Israel Yeshurun. CreoScitex.
