Five folks had "considerations with vision" after standing near a bug zapper on the Durham VA. A spokesperson said the people were participating in a meeting near the flying insect killer trapping machine. It was later determined that the machine contained the unsuitable bulb. Bug zappers generally emit a high-depth UV mild that attracts bugs to the center and then electrocutes them. It's not clear what bulb was unintentionally used in the trapper but UVC lamps used for disinfection purposes "might pose potential health and safety risks depending on the UVC wavelength, dose, and duration of radiation publicity," based on the FDA. The FDA says direct exposure from some ultraviolet-C lamps might cause painful eye injury and burn-like pores and skin reactions. The VA checked comparable gear across the group to make sure the fallacious bulb wasn't used anywhere else, she said. Our newsgathering companions at the News & Observer have been the primary the report the incident. According to the N&O, those injured included three workers, a resident and a contractor. |
