Measurement of the UVR Exposures of Expeditioners on Antarctic Resupply Voyages †
Abstract A study to assess the potential exposure to solar UV radiation of expeditioners on Australian Antarctic resupply voyages was carried out over the Austral summers of 2004/2005 to 2006/2007. Subjects wore UVR‐sensitive polysulphone (PS) badges on the chest for the duration of their working da...
