Abstract
Protective measures against artificial UVR sources are fairly well dev eloped and applied. The current area of most concern and activity is w ith occupational and recreational exposure to solar UVR. The high cost of skin cancer and ocular damage to society means that large benefits can result through campaigns that educate and modify the behaviour of exposed workers and the public. However, the cost effectiveness of su ch programmes should be carefully monitored.
