Abstract
The erythemal response of normal human skin to UVA and UVB radiation was measured objectively using a reflectance instrument in seven subjects, and a laser Doppler velocimeter in two subjects. UVA radiation was produced using a newly-developed high-intensity UVA lamp. The slope of the log dose-erythemal response curve for UVA at 24 h after irradiation was found not to differ significantly from that for UVB. The time course of UVA erythema was biphasic; erythema was present immediately after irradiation, fell to minimum at about 4 h and then rose to a broad plateau between 6 and 24 h. The intensity of the early phase was dose-rate dependent, whereas that in the later phase depended on dose only.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
