Abstract | Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation arriving at the Earth’s surface is a biological requirement for most forms of life, but also causes adverse responses in humans, Dosimetry methods for quantifying solar UV radiation exposure are extremely versatile and cost-effective compared to radiometric methods, and allow time Poly(dimethyl phenylene oxide) (PPO) film was identified from the literature as a chemical actinometer material with the potential to reduce the labour and costs The resulting actinometer provides an efficient method for quantifying either unweighted UVB dose or biologically effective dose. The spectral response The PPO film actinometer now provides an additional tool in the quantification of solar UV radiation exposure. It has equal versatility, and similar costs, labour and |
