Pages 112-118 | Published online: 20 Sep 2013
 

Abstract

Irradiations using a variety of fluorescent lamps have shown that a special blue lamp emitting a narrow band peaking at 445 nm was most effective in decomposing bilirubin in vitro and in vivo. Standard blue and daylight fluorescent lamps were less effective in decomposing bilirubin. Emission characteristics of the special blue lamps are presented and compared to those of the other lamps evaluated in this application.
