AN ELECTRONIC PERSONAL UV-B-DOSIMETER

At the International Workshop on Biological UV-Dosimetry in Budapest, 29 November-3 December 1994, a comparison of different UV-dosimeters w as carried out in order to evaluate their performance and to compare d ifferent types of measurement. The various dosimeter types included do tted dried spores of Bacillus subtilis on glass and plastic (''biofilm s''). Solar Light Company Biometers (Robertson-Berger Meters), thin la yer uracil sensors, and several handheld electronic devices. An electr onic dosimeter (ELUV-11) designed as a button to wear on clothing also took part in this intercomparison. In the following, data obtained du ring the ELUV-11 measurements is presented, and properties of this cla ss of personal dosimeters are discussed.
