Testing the Solar Ultraviolet Transmission of Clothing and Shade Materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experiment is described to expose students in a ‘hands-on’ manner to the physics of instrumentation, measurement, electromagnetic radiation and in particular UV radiation. The students will have no difficulty in setting up the apparatus themselves and they will obtain reliable results within a normal school practical period. Additionally, the students will undertake a scientific experiment relevant to everyday life.

UV clothing and skin cancer.
Skin cancer incidence in Croatia is steadily increasing in spite of public and governmental permanently measurements. It is clear that will soon become a major public health problem. The primary cause of skin cancer is believed to be a long exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The future designers of UV protective materials should be able to block totally the ultraviolet radiation. The...

Abstract Background: Solar light has various electromagnetic radiations include Ultraviolet, Visible & infrared rays. Overexposure to solar ultraviolet radiations can lead to some dangerous disorders and usage of non standard sunglasses can increase foregoing harmful effects. In Iran cataract is the most common disorder produced by UV rays. This study aims to measure the transmission of ultr...
متن کاملSpectral UV in public shade settings.
The protective nature of specific shade environments was investigated by measuring the spectral UV in the shade for the three planes (horizontal, 45 degrees and vertical) and comparing this to that on a horizontal plane in full sun. Spectral UV irradiance measurements were made under clear sky conditions at a sub-tropical southern hemisphere site. The solar UV in the shade of a shade umbrella, ...
متن کاملPenetration of solar erythemal UV radiation in the shade of two common Australian trees.
The penetration of solar erythemal ultraviolet radiation has been measured in the shade of a gum (Eucalyptus sp.) and a she oak (Casaurina) tree, both on a horizontal plane and with polysulphone dosimeters to human anatomical sites. This has provided new data useful for protection strategies against harmful ultraviolet radiation. For larger solar zenith angles, the relative penetration of solar...
متن کاملIndividual- and scattered-tree influences on ultraviolet irradiance
Many of the potential effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR)—damage to materials, altered herbivory of insects and activity of microbes, modified growth of vegetation, and adverse or beneficial effects on human health—are modified by the presence of trees that influence UVR exposure to various degrees. Though tree effects on total solar irradiance have been investigated often by measurements an...
