UVR radiometry of solar simulated radiation in experimental photocarcinogenesis studies

Abstract
The UVR radiometry of a long‐term mouse photocarcinogenesis project is described. The methods used were (a) a phototherapy (UV‐A) radiometer, (b) an electronic integrating dosimeter, (c) indirect spectroradiometry and (d) polysulphone and phenothiazine film badges for UV‐B and UV‐A respectively. The merits of the various methods are discussed. All but the phenothiazinc film were considered to be satisfactory. The importance of reliable UVR radiometry is emphasized.
