at 9 spectral lines at wavelengths ranging from 514.5 to 454.5 nm. This laser spectrum encompasses the maximum reported to produce chromosomal lesions in salamander lung tissue explants exposed to AO (2). Approximately 60% of the incident nonreflected light of these wavelengths is thought to penetrate the epidermis (6) and should therefore reach dermal tissues in sufficient intensity to activat...
