Abstract | [Abstract]: A method for the three dimensional representation of erythemally effective ultraviolet radiation (UVery) incident to the human body has been developed from a series of polysulphone dosimeter (PS) measurements to the face, neck, arms, legs and hands of a manikin model. The technique has been used to represent a series of human UVery exposure patterns in the solar zenith angle (SZA) range 30o-50o measured in an open environment in Toowoomba, Australia (27.5oS 151.9oE). The human body representations of exposure presented here improve upon existing techniques to represent the UVery exposure to complex body shape topography, providing for the first time, estimates of exposure that take whole body shading effects into account from high density PS dosimeter measurements. |
