title: UVR radiometry of solar simulated radiation in experimental photocarcinogenesis studies.
abstract: The UVR radiometry of a long-term mouse photocarcinogenesis project is described. The methods used were (a) a phototherapy (UV-A) radiometer, (b) an electronic integrating dosimeter, (c) indirect spectroradiometry and (d) polysulphone and phenothiazine film badges for UV-B and UV-A respectively. The merits of the various methods are discussed. All but the phenothiazine film were considered to be satisfactory. The importance of reliable UVR radiometry is emphasized.
