Ultraviolet Radiation Sources Used in Dermatology, September-December 1978.

Abstract

A nonionizing radiation protection special study of the ultraviolet (UV) lamps used in dermatology at US Army medical installations was performed by this Agency. Detailed measurements of three characteristics of ultraviolet therapy systems were performed at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center during September 1978. In addition, previous measurements of other small UV lamps and the sun are also provided. The spectra were weighted against the standard erythemal (and hazard) action spectrum to assist users of such UV sources. (Author)
