Ultraviolet Radiation Protection Methods

Dosimetric properties of UV irradiated calcium co-doped borate glass–ceramic

“…Presently, two factors of risk related to the ultraviolet radiation (UVR) are worrying specialists in a global scale: the increasing number of artificial sources of A and B ultraviolet radiation for industry, medical and aesthetic use and the increasing of ultraviolet radiation incidence on the surface of the earth due to reduction of the ozone layer [1].…”

“…The monitoring of ultraviolet radiation in medicine, industry application or environment requires a simple and practical dosimeter and it has become more important in the recent years because of the effects of exposure to UVR sources, such as skin erythema and snowblindness which have occurred rather frequently [1]. One other factor concerning the measurements of solar UVR is that they are often performed by means of radiometers which are very expensive instruments.…”
