Research on solar-UV individual exposure of undergraduate in Shenyang

  Objective   To explore personal exposure to solar-UV radiation of underg raduates in Shenyang.

  Methods   Personal exposure to solar-UV radiation of under graduate in Shenyang in four seasons was measured with UVR individual monitors. And at the same time the measurement of environmental ultraviolet radiation dose was carried out.

  Results   The research show ed the distribution of individual UVR exposure of each period in daytime, of daily cumulative amount and in different season. The percent personal ambient UVR exposures was less than 1.0 percent.

  Conclusion   The distribution of UVR exposure of underg raduates in daytime was corresponded with outdoor-time on the whole. Individual variation was mostly caused by personal behavior. Different season had great effect on UVR exposure. The differ ence between personal UVR exposure and environmental dose was large.
