UV exposure and visible erythema of expeditioners at Casey, Davis and Mawson station
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 day, which...
