Direct comparison between the angular distributions of the erythemal and eye-damaging UV irradiances: a pilot study.
Several broadband ultraviolet (UV) radiation angular distribution investigations have been previously presented. As the biologically damaging effectiveness of UV radiation is known to be wavelength dependent, it is necessary to expand this research into the distribution of the spectral UV. UV radiation is also susceptible to Rayleigh and Mie scattering processes, both of which are completely wa...
متن کاملAnalyzing UV-B narrowband solar irradiance: comparison with erythemal and vitamin D production irradiances.
The heliotherapy and the phototherapy are mainly focused on taking benefit of the therapeutic effects of the ultraviolet (UV) irradiance on different skin diseases. The use of UV-B narrowband lamps, with emissions centered at 311 nm, has spread out among the dermatologist community because of its high therapeutic effect in comparison with its low erythema dose. For cloudless sun exposure, the b...
متن کاملComparison between Seasons of The
Background/Purpose: This paper has considered the erythemal UV (UVery), UVA and visible irradiances in the shade of Australian trees for each season at a sub-tropical southern hemisphere site. Methods: The irradiances in tree shade have been measured with radiometers as a percentage of the irradiances in the sun for each season of the year. Results: Although the solar irradiances are lower in w...
متن کاملDiffuse Component of the Solar Ultraviolet Radiation in Tree Shade
This paper has provided the first set of quantitative data of diffuse erythemal UV and UVA in tree shade at a sub-tropical Southern Hemisphere latitude. Over the summer, approximately 60% of the erythemal UV radiation in the tree shade is due to the diffuse component. Similarly, approximately 56% of the UVA radiation in the tree shade is due to the diffuse component. In the tree shade these dif...
متن کاملActinic Ultraviolet Exposures to Humans Assessed with a Dosimetric Technique
A spectrum evaluator based on a system of four materials has been applied to the evaluation of actinic ultraviolet exposures to humans. The exposures were evaluated between early morning and near noon in summer and the actinic irradiances calculated ranged from 3 μW cm to 5 μW cm. Simultaneously, the broad band irradiances which induced the actinic exposures and/or the biologically effective ex...
