An evaluation of fluorescent light sources for use in phototherapy of neonatal jaundice.
An evaluation of fluorescent lamps for use in the phototherapy of neonatal jaundice was undertaken by making spectral irradiance measurements of each lamp. Conclusions are drawn on the usefulness of current methods of measuring exposure dose to radiation from the lamps. UV hazards from the lamps are evaluated.
