Abstract
The ultraviolet radiation (UVR) doses received by staff who are occupationally exposed to artificial sources of UVR found in dermatology departments have been measured using personal UV monitors. The results show that staff may receive actinic (UVB and UVC) doses which are in excess of recommended maximum permissible limits for occupational exposure, but that the UVA doses are well within these limits.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
