The clinical symptoms of oculocutaneous albinism are of two types hypersensitivity of the skin to sunlight and photophobia. The skin is white and does not tan when exposed to ultraviolet radiation instead, the skin rapidly bums with erythema and desquamation. The incidence of skin cancer, normally high among blond individuals, is even higher among albinos. The iris has a blue-grey translucency. 

Bums of the eye may result from chemical splashes and exposure to ultraviolet radiation as can occur with electric welding. It is vital that chemical burns be treated at once by irrigation with copious quantities of running water.

Lead styphnate and mercuiy fulminate can be initiated by light but show two requirements for propagation. They either bum with a velocity of a few meters per second or detonate. The minimum critical ignition energy for lead styphnate monohydrate crystals covered with a quartz plate is 29 J [32]. If a water filter was used, the value was 31 J, showing that infrared radiation plays little part in the initiation, the temperature rise being produced by absorption of the blue or ultraviolet light emitted by the flash. 

Radiation. Exposure of persons or sensitive equipment to ionizing radiation, nonionizing radiation, ultraviolet or infrared hght, lasers, electromagnetic or radiofrequency emanations. Results can include bums to persons, stmctural damage to equipment, and initiating of ordnance devices. 

Laser work and similar operations create intense concentrations of heat, ultraviolet, infrared, and reflected light radiation. A laser beam of sufficient power can produce intensities greater than those experienced when looking directly at the sun. Unprotected laser exposure may result in eye injuries including retinal bums, cataracts, and permanent blindness. When lasers produce invisible ultraviolet or other radiation, both employees and visitors should use appropriate eye protection at all times.
