Waveband constructor for ICNIRP UV health hazard 2004 BSWF.
UV_health_hazard(std = "ICNIRP", norm = 270, w.low = 210, w.high = 400)ICNIRP(norm = 270, w.low = 210, w.high = 400)
a waveband object defining wavelength range, weighting function and normalization wavelength.
a character string "ICNIRP".
normalization wavelength (nm)
short-end boundary wavelength (nm)
long-end boundary wavelength (nm)
This BSWF is used for the determination of exposure limits (EL) for workers, and includes a safety margin as it is based on eye and the non-pathologic response of the most sensitive human skin types when not tanned. Values are interpolated according to equations 2a, 2b and 2c in ICNIRP (2004), which cover the range 210 nm to 400 nm.
The program code is provided as is, with no guarantee of suitability for any purpose, and should under no circumstances be used to assess actual health hazards.
