چکیده

introduction: ultraviolet (uv) radiation affects human organs such as skin, eyes and immune system, as well as animals and plants. the main natural source of uv radiation is the sun. to study the effects of solar uv radiation there is a need to quantify variations of solar energy received on the earth surface at different intervals. materials and methods: to measure uv radiation a broadband fiber optic uv spectrometer was used. with the spectrometer, the energy received at earth surface was measured from wavelength 100 to 400 nm (the uv spectrum). measurement duration was from january first to the end of december 2003, and from sunrise to sunset. results: the received uvc at the ground level was too low to be measured. the measured uva was between 11 to 21 times higher than uvb energy during the measurement period. the minimum uv received on the ground level was in january and it was 14.5×105 j/m2 while the maximum was in july and it was 80.14×105 j/m2. total uv radiation received on the ground level was during the year of measurement period 579 ×105 j/m2. conclusion: the measurement showed that uvc intensity on the earth surface was negligible. as the wavelength increased the receiving uv energy at the ground level also increased. from the results, it has become clear that the main health consequences of solar uv were related to uva band. as the intensity of the uvr during summer is too high, a method of uv health risk reduction should be devised.

Evaluation of solar ultraviolet radiation in Zanjan city using the ultraviolet index

Background and Objective: Monitoring the amount of ultraviolet radiation from sunlight can provide a basis for assessing people's exposure, raise public awareness and warn people against this radiation. Measuring the sun's ultraviolet index over a working period is an accurate choice to achieve this goal. Materials and Methods: In this study, the amount of solar UV index in one of the outdoor ...

Measurement of solar ultraviolet radiation in Yazd, Iran

Background: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is divided into three regions: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Both the quality and quantity of solar UV radiation vary with various factors including the elevation of the sun above the horizon, as well as absorption and scattering of UV photons by molecules in the atmosphere, notably ozone and clouds. It is clear that whereas a moderate amount of UV exposure ...

Solar and Ultraviolet Radiation

Terrestrial life is dependent on radiant energy from the sun. Solar radiation is largely optical radiation [radiant energy within a broad region of the electromagnetic spectrum that includes ultraviolet (UV), visible (light) and infrared radiation], although both shorter wavelength (ionizing) and longer wavelength (microwaves and radiofrequency) radiation is present. The wavelength of UV radiat...

Diffuse solar ultraviolet radiation.

The solar UV exposure to the eyes of humans is due to the direct and diffuse components of solar radiation. The direct ocular UV exposures to the eyes are reduced due to the natural aversion of the majority of people from looking directly at the sun. The diffuse UV is incident from all directions and as a result, it is more difficult to minimise the ocular exposure to this component of the sola...
