Wavelength-dependent DNA damage induced by single wavelengths of UV-C radiation (215 to 255 nm) in a human cornea model

Abstract excerpt

Scientific bodies overseeing UV radiation protection recommend safety limits for exposure to ultraviolet radiation in the workplace based on published peer-reviewed data. To support this goal, a 3D model of the human cornea was used to assess the wavelength dependence of corneal damage induced by UV-C radiation. In the first set of experiments the models were exposed with or without simulated tears; at each...
