A spectrum evaluator based on four different dosimeter materials has been employed to estimate the spectral irradiances of solar radiation for exposed humans. The result is used to calculate the biologically effective irradiance using the erythemal action spectrum and a fish melanoma action spectrum. Measurements are made in winter at a sub-tropical site on the chest and shoulder of subjects during normal daily activities. Up to 95% of the total UV exposure received is in the W-A waveband (320-400 nm). The UV-A waveband is found to contribute approximately 14% of the erythemal UV and 93% of the biologically effective UV for fish melanoma. Extrapolation to humans suggests that exposure to the W-A band will contribute to photodamage in human skin during exposure to solar radiation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
