Evaluation of recommendations on limits of exposure to ultraviolet radiation on the basis of data from the Austrian population

  • 1. Institut fuer Medizinische Physik, Veterinaermedizinische Universitaet Wien, Vienna (Austria)

Description

For the application of solaria at present the following international recommendations on limits of exposure exist, which differ strongly: 1. IRPA/INIRC (1991): 30 MED/a (i.e. 7.5 kJ/a). 2. IEC 335-2-27 (1978, 1989): 25 kJ/m2/a for each region of the body, that is 100 MED/a. On the basis of our data from the Austrian population we give an evaluation of these recommendations for the entire population. This evaluation shows that 100 MED/a is much too high, it seduces rather to use solaria than to restrict their application
