Undesirable Effects in Working with Lasers (O Deistvii Neblagopriyatnykh Factorov pri Rabote s Opticheskimi Kvantovymi Generatorami),
Abstract
The laser radiation does not only cause local changes in the eyesight, skin and other organs, but may also lead to general changes in the organism. In the experiment, it was established that after the eyes of the animals were subjected to laser radiation of low intensity, certain changes in the cardiac system, metabolism, hypophysial system -- cortex of adrennal glands -- and others were observed. In a number of cases these changes were quite manifest and persistent in character. The work with lasers may cause various local and general changes in the organism. This fact indicates that when operating a laser preventive and protective measures from possible detrimental effects caused by this basically new type of radiation should be taken. In addition, special attention must be paid to the preventive protection of the eyes. (Author)
