UV lights
Posted: 26 May 2008, 14:28
Hello everyone
we have had a bit of an incident here with a new kitchen and UV lights apparently casuing health issues - the lights have been on but the exhaust fans for what ever reason have not been on - there has beena build up of something that is causing headaches, nausea breathing issues. I was asksed if it was a chemcials smell due to one of the suppliers saying that is what it was from the glue and it would go away - formaldhye and MEK - as i know what they smell like, being a labbie (??) i was asked if that is what they were - NOPE!
so the next theroy that has been grabbed and run with is ozone created form the UV lights !!!
is this possible? I figure like the UV lamps we use they are just another wave length of light!!!
if this is a dumb question i will apologise now
