Measurements of Solar UVA, UVB and of Ozone: Estimates of Population UV Doses

U. Wester

The Swedish Radiation Protection Institute (SSI) has been involved for twenty years in measurements of ultraviolet radiation from artificial sources and from the sun, using spectral and broad-band instruments. Focus has shifted from artificial to natural ultraviolet radiation. Solar UVA, UVB and derived ozone column have been monitored with a filter instrument since 1989 at SSI in Stockholm. At present modern UV monitoring detectors complement the older instruments. Measurement results improve with newer instruments and techniques. Population UV doses are estimated roughly and need better assessment but may still require present or future improvements of UV measurements and monitoring as well as some refocussing to quantify and reduce overall exposure of the population.
