Application of photodegradation processes for monitoring solar ultraviolet radiation

2 Application of photodegradation processes for monitoring solar ultraviolet radiation 

It has been reported that films of the thermoplastics poly(ethylene oxide) [535] and polysulphones [534, 536, 543] can be used to monitor solar UV 

The simplicity of this technique has enabled it to be used as a personal dosimeter and to measure the amount of UV radiation received by different groups of people, e.g. office workers, laboratory workers, gardeners, etc. These films have been used as personal dosimeters in a range of medical and dermatological studies [533].
