Abstract

In biological and chemical laboratories UV radiation is largely used, particularly in photo biological and photochemical studies, with the objective to sterilize or to visualize the samples in different technical analysis. In this work we present the results of the evaluation of UV exposition levels and the hazards for researchers and students, that the results shows elevated if they don't use correct laboratory procedures and protective wear.
