The measurement of solar ultraviolet radiation in Kermanshah city over a one-year period from 2015 to 2016
Authors
Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Ultraviolet radiation is present in sunlight. If ultraviolet radiation exceeds the limit, it can cause detrimental effects on human health such as skin cancer and cataract. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the level of solar ultraviolet radiation type A (UVA) were measured using UV LOG HAND HELD in Kermanshah city. The intensity of ultraviolet radiation was measured three times a day including two hours before noon, noon and two o'clock in the afternoon. The results were analyzed using ANOVA statistical tests with a confidence interval of 95%. Results: The lowest and highest average intensity levels of solar UVA in Kermanshah were in December (14.21± 0.94 w/m2) and August (32.87 ±2.3 w/m2), respectively. Also, winter and summer seasons (with average intensities of 16.37± 1.12 w/m2 and 30.12±1.7 w/m2) had the lowest and highest intensity of this radiation, respectively. Conclusion: Regarding that UVA radiation exceeds the safe exposure level, even in the winter in Kermanshah, it is recommended for people to avoid from long-term staying in open spaces at noon and use proper protective wears especially in summer.

Background: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is divided into three regions: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Both the quality and quantity of solar UV radiation vary with various factors including the elevation of the sun above the horizon, as well as absorption and scattering of UV photons by molecules in the atmosphere, notably ozone and clouds. It is clear that whereas a moderate amount of UV exposure ...
