Description
Full text: At the University of Southern Queensland, a research focus has been established to provide quantitative data on the solar UV environment and UV exposures to humans. The ambient UVA and the erythemal UV is monitored continuously in 15 minute intervals. Personal UV exposures to humans are measured with polysulphone UV dosimeters. A calibrated UV spectroradiometer is employed to measure the UV spectral irradiances. The spectroradiometer is also employed to calibrate the UV meters seasonally and to calibrate each batch of polysulphone film. Sample results from the research are provided
