![]() Skin burns and eye injuries from UVC exposure usually resolve within a week with no known long-term damage. Avoid direct skin exposure to UVC radiation and never look directly into a UVC light source, even briefly. Q: What are the risks of exposure to UVC radiation?Ī: UVC radiation can cause severe burns of the skin and eye injuries (photokeratitis). Thus, the only way that humans can be exposed to UVC radiation is from an artificial source like a lamp or laser. UVC radiation from the sun does not reach the earth’s surface because it is blocked by the ozone layer in the atmosphere.
