Abstract
|
|
|
On four-year´s observation, it was found that among the causes of failure in the final physical examinations which the 4th year cadets should take before their admission to regular airmanship, training the visual weakness has been a major cause. As a part of study to clarify the etiology of visual weakness, we studied the artificial illumination at the Academy.
We chose as the objects of this study the artificial illumination in the living rooms, duty rooms, reading rooms, toilet rooms, corridors, and entertainment halls of the cadets´ building.
We used "Sibata type Luxmeter."
The time of. observation is P. M. April the 15th 1965.
Result & comparison to standard are as follows and unit is lux.
As many books ´and reports about the effects of artificial illuminations show, it is well known that the insufficiency of illumination could be the cause of myopia in studying life. On the other hand, the excessive illumination in certain occupation will destroy the eye tissuesaand can lead to blindness.
Conclusion:
As a part of study to clarify the etiology of visual weakening in cadets´ life, we examined the artificial illuminations in the Cadets´ buildings.
The result showed that the illumination in all rooms except corridors, entertainment halls and toilet rooms is slightly insufficient.
To correct the defficiency the medical squadron of the Air Force Academy have reported the result to the concerners and there have been considerable improvements.
