2. Electromagnetic radiation and health - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation...

   Infrared wavelengths longer than 750 nm can produce changes in the lens of the eye. Glassblower's cataract is an example of a heat injury that damages the anterior lens capsule among unprotected glass and iron workers. Cataract-like changes can occur in workers who observe glowing masses of glass or iron without protective eyewear for prolonged ...

3. Infrared heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_heater

   An infrared heater or heat lamp is a heating appliance containing a high-temperature emitter that transfers energy to a cooler object through electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the temperature of the emitter, the wavelength of the peak of the infrared radiation ranges from 750 nm to 1 mm.

4. Thermal radiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation

   In a practical, room-temperature setting, humans lose considerable energy due to infrared thermal radiation in addition to that lost by conduction to air (aided by concurrent convection, or other air movement like drafts). The heat energy lost is partially regained by absorbing heat radiation from walls or other surroundings.

   This means when you step into an infrared sauna, you likely won’t get blasted by inferno-level heat. Infrared saunas operate at about 104 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit—significantly lower than ...

7. Effects of nuclear explosions on human health - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_nuclear...

   The medical effects of the atomic bomb upon humans can be put into the four categories below, with the effects of larger thermonuclear weapons producing blast and thermal effects so large that there would be a negligible number of survivors close enough to the center of the blast who would experience prompt/acute radiation effects, which were observed after the 16 kiloton yield Hiroshima bomb ...

8. Erythema ab igne - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythema_ab_igne

   Erythema ab igne (Latin for 'redness from fire') EAI, also known as hot water bottle rash, [2] is a skin condition caused by long-term exposure to heat (infrared radiation). [3] Prolonged thermal radiation exposure to the skin can lead to the development of reticulated erythema, hyperpigmentation, scaling, and telangiectasias in the affected area.

9. Acute radiation syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_radiation_syndrome

   This event is also known as "flash", where radiant heat and light are bombarded into any given victim's exposed skin, causing radiation burns. [31] Death is highly likely, and radiation poisoning is almost certain if one is caught in the open with no terrain or building masking-effects within a radius of 0–3 km from a 1 megaton airburst.
