Description

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has been implicated in the induction of skin cancers and cataracts. Doses received by the body and the eye during different activities and over the lifetime of an individual have only recently begun to be quantified. Polysulphone (PS) film is a possible UVR dosimeter and several studies investigating the anatomical distribution of UVR have been published. This work presents the dose response of PS film to solar UVR, the anatomic distribution of solar UVR, and also the SPD of radiation incident on the eye
