Abstract
A method for measuring and monitoring the biological effects of UV-B radiation along with an instrument for implementing this method. The biological UV-B effect monitor generally includes a first photodetector sensitive to UV-B only, a second photodetector sensitive to visible light only, and a microprocessor for normalizing the UV-B response relative to the visible response and applying one or more stored biologic response algorithms to the measured and normalized UV-B value to produce a biologic response output signal.
