UV Meters
Brief Sun protection today is critical. Whenever we spend time in the sun we are exposed to UV radiation. Because we can't see UV Rays, it can be misleading to know just what the UV intensity is. A Personal UV metre can be a very useful tool in determining exactly what the ambient UV level is. Once that is known, the appropriate protection can be taken.
Key Features
Product Disclaimer The Use of a Personal UV Metre will not prevent skin cancer. It is the users responsibility to take all precautions possible when exposed to UV Rays. A personal UV metre is only a part of an overall sun protection strategy. For further information on skin protection contact the Cancer Council or Cancer Protection Agency in your state or region.
General Sun Protection Information What does UV mean? Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is radiation that is emitted by the sun. It is divided into three sub-sections:
How can I protect myself from UV Radiation? For best protection from the sun, a combination of sun protection measures is recommended including;
When the UV Index reaches 3 or above, skin damage and particularly sunburn can occur and the risk of skin cancer increases, so sun protection is required.
UV levels are largely determined by latitude, cloud cover, time of year and time of day. For this reason it is important to understand that the UV index can change each day, and is different for each month and each season. SunSmart recommends people should get into the habit of checking the UV Index regularly to see when they need to adopt effective sun protection behaviours. A Personal UV metre is a useful tool in an overall sun protection strategy. |
