Abstract
An animal experiment is presented in which three groups of albino hairless mice (Skh-hr 1) were exposed to daily doses of either UV-B or UV-A to study carcinogenesis. The UV-A was filtered carefully so as to eliminate contaminating UV-B. The doses required for acute effects (erythema and edema) were also determined for the two radiation modalities. In order to study the relative carcinogenic risks of exposures to UV-A and to UV-B, for both modalities, the doses causing skin tumors were compared to the doses required for eliciting acute effects in the skin.Keywords
