Description

Whereas recent scientific publications evoked the potential toxicity of the blue light emitted by LEDs, this publication discusses the nature of the blue light, and photo-biological safety requirements. It analyses and comments the case of LEDs, discusses populations at risks and hazardous practices. It questions the possibility of low-dose effects and the possible efficiency of protection glasses.
