Abstract | The lifetime erythemal UV exposures received by selected population groups in South East Queensland from birth up to an age of 55 years have been quantitatively estimated. A representative sample of teachers and other school workers received (64+-22)x10^5 J m-2 to the neck compared to (4.1+-1.4) x10^5 J m-2 to the upper leg. A sample of indoor workers (bank officers, solicitors and psychologists) received approximately 2% less and a sample of outdoor workers (carpenters, tilers, electricians and labourers) received approximately 10% more to the neck than the school workers. These differences in erythemal UV exposures may influence the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer. |
