[Spectral and energy parameters of the biological effect of UV-irradiation and approaches to its standardization].

Human and animal health effects of UV-radiation are considered. Action spectra and biologically effective doses for UV-induced erythema, keratoconjunctivitis, cataract, skin cancer and immunosuppression are presented. Admissible doses of UV-irradiation with regard to damage to skin and eye, recommended in some foreign countries, are discussed.
