LaserLaser RadiationRadiation HazardsHazards
Lasers can cause damage in biological tissues due to its great brightness ofbeam, both to the eye and to the skin, due to different mechanisms:
- Thermal damage (burn): tissues are heated to the point wheredenaturation of proteins occurs.
- Photochemical damage: light triggers chemical reactions in tissue.Mostly with blue and ultra-violet light and can be accumulated over thecourse of hours.
. The eye is, by far, the organ of the body most
subject to damage, as it is capable of increasing thelaser light intensity 100.000 times by its focusingpower at the retina.Parallel rays of a laser may be focused to a point image by the eye while rays from aconventional lamp can produce a sizeable and less dangerous image at the retina.
. The skin is usually much less sensitive to laser light than the eye but with everincreasing laser intensities encountered, skin damage is becoming a concern.
ExposureExposure LimitsLimits
LaserLaser RadiationRadiation HazardsHazards
UnitsThe unit used to describe the radiation exposure from laserradiation are Watts ( W ) or milliwatts (mW ) for thepower or W/m2 or mW/cm2 for the intensity.
The exposure limits (ELs)Exposure at levels below the ELs should not result in adversehealth effects.
Should be used only as guidelines for controlling human exposureto laser radiation. They should not be regarded as thresholds ofinjury or as sharp demarcations between "safe" and "dangerous"exposure levels.

ClassificationClassification
LaserLaser RadiationRadiation HazardsHazards
The hazard classification specified for laser aredefined by the output parameters, i.e. emissionwavelength, emission duration, power output, andaccessible emission levels (AELs) of laser radiation.
ClassificationClassification UNE EN 60825-1 /A2: 2002
Class 1 Safe under all conditions of normal use. CD-ROM players
Class 1MSafe for all conditions of use except when passed through magnifyingoptics such as microscopes and telescopes.
Class 2Safe because the blink reflex will limit the exposure to no more than 0.25seconds. It only applies to visible-light lasers (400700 nm) Supermarket scanners
Class 2M Safe because of the blink reflex if not viewed through optical instruments.
Class 3R Considered safe if handled carefully, with restricted beam viewing. L. pointers
Class 3BHazardous if the eye is exposed directly, but diffuse reflections such asthose from paper or other matte surfaces are not harmful. Research
Class 4
Highest and most dangerous class of laser. Can burn the skin, or causedevastating and permanent eye damage. May ignite combustible materials(fire risk). These hazards may also apply to diffuse, indirect or non-specular reflections of the beam, even from apparently matte surfaces,meaning that great care must be taken to control the beam path .

Radiation: is a process in whichenergetic particles or energetic wavestravel through vacuum, or throughmatter-containing media that are notrequired for their propagation
Ex.: electromagnetic waves (UV, X, IR, visiblelight) & corpuscular radiation (neutrons, )
Radioactivity: spontaneous emission ofradiation as a result of nuclear instability.
Ionisation: is an electrical process inwhich an electron is knocked out of itsorbit.

TYPES OF IONIZING RADIATION
1.- Directly Ionizing:
Any charged massive particle can ionize atoms directly through Coulomb forcesif it carries sufficient kinetic energy (moving at relativistic speeds).This includes atomic nuclei ( radiation: 4He nucleus) , electrons (radiation), muons, charged pions, and protons (main component of naturalcosmic rays).
2.- Indirectly Ionizing:
- Photons: They can ionize atoms through the Photoelectric and Comptoneffects. Those interactions will eject an electron at relativistic speeds, turning itinto a -particle that will ionize many more atoms.
X-rays (100eV 100keV) & -rays (100keV)
- Neutrons: fast neutrons will interact with the protons in hydrogen and thismechanism produces proton radiation (ionizing).

Definitions &Units
Absorbed dose: energy that is absorbed bya unit of mass that is irradiated with sometype of radiation of some magnitude. The SIunit is gray(Gy), J/kg.
Equal absorbed doses of different types of ionizingradiation cause different amounts of damage toliving tissue. Therefore,
Equivalent dose: was defined to give anapproximate measure of the biological effectof radiation. It is calculated by multiplying
the absorbed dose by a weighting factor WR,which is different for each type of radiation.The SI unit is sievert(Sv) , J/kg.
Different tissues and organs have varyingsensitivity to radiation exposure. Therefore

Exposure
Type
Contamination
Radioactive contamination occurs when radioactivematerial is deposited on or in an object or a person. Acontaminated person has radioactive materials on(external c.) or inside their body (internal contamination)The person remains exposed to radiation until theradionucleides are eliminated or radioactive activity decays.
Irradiation
A person exposed to radiation is not necessarilycontaminated with radioactive material. A person whohas been exposed to radiation has had radioactive wavesor particles penetrate the body, like having an x-ray.

Deterministic effects:
. They reliably occur above a thresholddose.. Their severity increases with dose.
If number of destroyed cells is high, thecorresponding tissue or organ will resultdemaged.
Stochastic effects:
. Their probability of occurrenceincreases with dose.
. The severity is independent of dose.
. There is no a threshold dose.
When the irradiation is not lethal for the cell,much of the radiation induced demage isrepaired by cellular mechanisms. When repair isincomplete or misrepairoccurs, the geneticdemage can lead to the induction of cancer
- Ionizing radiation liberates e- in matter leading to the creation of freeradicals (very reactive) responsible for demage of cells -

Safety Procedures
1. Reducing exposure (time/distance/shielding)One can never have "zero" radiation exposurebecause of the natural radiation (cosmic rays,
natural isotopes etc.) Therefore, the best we can
do is to add nothing to this background dose. TheALARA approach (As Low As Reasonably
Achievable) is used. Instead of operating at orjust below permissible exposure limits, one must
stay as far below the exposure limits as possible.
RD 783/2001
2. Training and information to workers.
3. Delimitation of areas and signalling.
4. Classification, monitoring and
protection of ocupationally exposed
workers.

ExposureLimits (RD 783/2001)
Safety Procedures. Delimitation of areas and signalling
Controlled area: Controlled areas are designated if it is necessary for persons to enter or work in anarea where special procedures to restrict the possibility of significant exposure are followed. Also if
persons working in this area are likely to receive an effective dose of greater than 6mSv per year or anequivalent dose of greater than 3/10ths of any relevant dose limits in respect of employees aged 18
years or above.
Simple
Limited stay area: Risk to receive an effective dose greater than dose limits. Regulated stay area: Risk to receive in short period of time effective dose greater than
annual dose limits.
Forbiden area: Risk to receive in a single exposure effective dose greater than annual doselimits.
Supervised area: Non controlled areas but persons working in this area are likely to receive aneffective dose of greater than 1mSv per year or an equivalent dose of greater than 1/10ths of anyrelevant dose limits in respect of employees aged 18 years or above.

There is a certain relationship between the variation with the time of the intensityof the electric and magnetic fields and the severity of the adverse effects, whichcan be derived from, for the health in persons exposed to them. Health risks arelower when exposed to constant magnetic field.
. In the case of the static magnetic fields, it is only likely that acute effects occurwhen there is movement in the field, such as the movement of a person or body
movement internal (as blood flow or the heartbeat).- A person who travels in a f ie ld of more than 2 T may have feelings of dizziness andnausea, accompanied in some cases by a metallic taste in the mouth, andpercept ions of flashes of light. But these are only temporary, these effects canhave an impact on the safety of the people who perform sensitive operations(such as the surgeons that perform operations on MRI units).
. Static magnetic fields influence the electrical loads to move with the blood, asthe ions, and generate electric currents and fields around the heart and majorblood vessels, which can slightly alter the circulation of the blood. However, theseacute effects tend to occur only in the event of exposure to fields of more than8 T.
- Among the possible effects include slight alterations of the heart beat, and anincreased risk of abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia), that can endanger the life ofthe patient (such as ventricular fibrillation).

PhyisicalPhyisical PropertiesProperties
Cold burns, frostbite &/or hypothermia caused by direct contact with theliquid, pipes, etc. or its low temperature vapors. Delicate tissue, such as eyes,can be damaged by a brief exposure to the cold gas.
Lung lesions breathing very cold gas from the vaporization of the liquefied gas
Low temperature embrittlement (affects most materials more or lesspronunced) / thermal stress giving rise to the emergence of cracks instructures, with danger of collapse.
HazardsHazardsLOW TEMPERATURE
Risk of asphyxiation as a result of an oxygen deficient atmosphere.
Absence of warning properties!!!colourless, odourless & tasteless
A person can become unconscious without any warning symptoms
Pressure build up &/or explosion risk sealed containers / pipes.

Frostbite to SKIN (generally caused by contact with liquid or refrigerated metal. In the latter case, theskin can stick to the metal and tear when pulled away)
Contact emergency services and seek inmediate medical attention if contact with the fluid hasresulted in blistering or deep tissue freezing or a reduction in body temperature.
Remove contaminated clothing. (This must be done carefully to prevent salvageable skinfrom being pulled off.)
Remove clothing that may interfere with circulation of blood to afected area
Flush affected area with copious quantities of lukewarm (unheated!) water for 15 min.
- DO NOT USE HOT WATER - DO NOT USE DRY HEAT
- DO NOT RUB (to prevent further damage to skin) - DO NOT APPLY ANY OINTMENTS
Once area has thawed, cover with dry sterile bandages and a large bulky protective coveringuntil paramedics arrive. (This will help prevent further demage to area and infection)
If a large area has been exposed (such that the body temperature is reduced, hypothermia),wrap worker in blankets and wait for paramedical arrival.

Only use vessels designed for cryogenic materials, which must be properlyvented.
Never use plastic, glass or rubber with cryogenic materials
Use the freight elevator, not the passenger elevator. Never accompanycryogenic liquid containers in lifts.
Always label the containers.
SafetySafety ProceduresProcedures
CryogenicCryogenic liquidliquid hazardshazards
Do not handle Cryogenic Liquids before receiving adequate instructionand training. If you are in doubt about what to do, or are untrained in cryogenicliquid procedures, ALWAYS seek the advice of a competent person.
Always use tongs to remove items from liquid nitrogen.
Do not expose bare skin to liquid or its vapours. Do not inhale the vapours.
Always wear the proper protective equipment including:
- a full face shield with goggles
- loose fitting cryogloves.
- proper footwear and clothing.
Cryogenic liquids must be handled and stored in well ventilated areas. Wherethis is not possible, oxygen monitor must be installed. Always allow excess liquidto evaporate in a fume hood or in a well ventilated area.

Cryogenic tanks are designed to keep heat away from the liquidcontained inside the vessel.
They are constructed like a vacuum bottel
Since heat leak is always present vaporisation takes placecontinuously.
Usually are equiped with safety relief valves and rupture disks

Liquid Valve
Liquid is withdrawn through this valve
Pressure Relief Devices
Protect vessel from over-pressure
(1) Re-seating spring-loaded relief valve
Low P. 22 psig (for dispensing liquid)
High P. >230 psig (for dispensing liquid and gas)
(2) Burst disk rated to protect the inner vessel.
Warning!!
Never plug, restrict, cap, seal

Hearing a slight hiss from a liquid cylinder is usually the normaloperation of its pressure relief device
- Liquid is converted to gas at about 2.3% per day even under ideal container conditions-
Ice or frost buildup on a pressure relief valve can be removed with adamp cloth (use appropiate PPE)
Rupture of the backup disk may release a large quantity og liquid andgas. Evacuation of the area is required to prevent asphyxiation.
If there is a large spill or rupture of the container -. Evacuate!
Warning signs of a damaged dewar
Continuous venting from vent valve could mean there is dirt in the ventvalve or it is demaged
Sweat or frost at the bottom or sides of the dewar is an indication of ademaged vacuum jacket
