The UV Index and Exposure Time Measured by UVM-30 Photodetector

Abstract:

Solar radiation between 100 and 400 nm has a number of effects on human health. The UV Index and exposure time are particularly important in the evaluation of the risk of sunburn, skin cancer and other injury. This paper used the UVM-30 photodetector to measure the UVI and the max exposure time in sun real time with a simple linear function relationship circuit. The results suggest you should bath in sun not more than 36 minutes at noon, or not more than 106 minutes at 17:00 in the afternoon with 5 UVI.
