为了评估太阳紫外线辐射对皮肤和眼睛的潜在危害，并采取适当的预防措施，有必要对生物有效辐照度或剂量进行表征。最近出现了价格低廉的紫外线指示卡，原则上可以提供一种有吸引力的方法，大致显示当地红斑太阳紫外线辐照度的水平。我们已经描述了许多不同类型的UV指示卡的特性。对可能影响卡片颜色的几个参数进行了检查，其中包括在太阳紫外线下进行的室外试验以及使用过滤氙气弧光灯进行的室内试验。我们的研究结果表明，由于其光谱灵敏度和温度依赖性，测试卡不能给出有效辐照度的适当估计。因此，所测试的紫外线指示卡的应用范围仅限于特定的温度范围和季节，其中太阳紫外线a和太阳紫外线b之间存在一定的比例。
In order to evaluate the potential hazard for the skin and the eye presented by solar ultraviolet radiation, and to take appropriate precautions, it is necessary to characterise the biological effective irradiance or dose. Recently, inexpensive UV indicator cards became available that in principle would provide an attractive means to roughly indicate the local level of erythemal solar UV irradiance. We have characterised the properties of a number of different types of UV indicator cards. Several parameters which may influence the colour of the cards were examined with both outdoor trials under solar UV as well as indoor trials using a filtered xenon arc lamp. Our findings show that the tested cards do not give an appropriate estimation of the effective irradiance due to their spectral sensitivity and their temperature dependence. The application area of the tested UV indicator cards is therefore limited to certain temperature ranges and to seasons where a certain ratio between solar UV-A and solar UV-B occurs.
