Safety Practices and Hazards

Ultraviolet radiation
Hazardous ultraviolet radiation is emitted by flames, hollow cathode lamps and
deuterium lamps. This radiation can cause serious damage to human eyes and
skin.
Always wear safety glasses conforming to an approved standard, and certified
or otherwise warranted to protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation.
Never look directly at the light emitted by a hollow cathode lamp.
When using a flame, always operate your spectrometer with the flame shield
closed, and the sample compartment front panel and chimney in place.
