RE: Ultraviolet Radiation Hazards

["Mercado, Don" <don.mercado@lmco.com>]

Hi Eric.

ACGIH has published standards. The FDA's 21 CFR 1040.20 and 30 speaks to
manufacturer's of UV emitting products and exposure limits.

	I am interested in knowing if any governments (anywhere in the
world),
	government agencies, technical associations or any other learned
bodies
	have published position statements on the potential hazard to
humans of
	exposure to natural and/or artificial sources of ultraviolet
radiation.

	I am certainly thinking of statements in the format that might
be published
	by groups such as the Health Physics Society or ICNIRP
(International
	Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) concerning
radiation
	safety related matters, but I don't necessarily want to limit
the request
	to these types.  More general, or shorter statements, that might
guide an
	organization's policy on such matters are also of interest.

	Thank-you in advance for your assistance.
