title: Personal ultraviolet radiation dosimetry with polysulphone film badges.
abstract: The use of the plastic film, polysulphone, as a dosimeter for monitoring personal exposure to both natural and artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation is described. In particular, the relationship of the change in optical properties of the film with biologically-meaningful quantities, such as the minimal erythema dose, is explained.
