To characterize photobiological and photochemical phenomena, standardized terms and units are required. Without a uniform set of descriptors, much of the scientific value of publications can be lost. Attempting to achieve an international consensus for a common language has always been difficult, but now with truly international scientific publications, it is all the more important. As photobiology and photochemistry both represent the fusion of several scientific disciplines, it is not surprising that the physical terms used to describe exposures and dosimetric concepts can vary from author to author. There are, however, international organizations that were established to minimize the confusion produced by poor or inconsistent technical terminology. This note is to review the standardized terms and provide a background on how such terms are developed, with the hope that all readers will attempt to follow the standardized terminology.
为了描述光生物学和光化学现象，需要标准化的术语和单位。如果没有一套统一的描述符，许多出版物的科学价值可能会丧失。试图就一种通用语言达成国际共识一直很困难，但现在随着真正的国际科学出版物的出现，这一点变得更加重要。由于光生物学和光化学都代表了多个科学学科的融合，不同作者用来描述暴露和剂量学概念的物理术语有所不同也就不足为奇了。然而，有一些国际组织成立的目的是尽量减少因技术术语不完善或不一致而产生的混淆。本说明旨在回顾标准化术语，并提供这些术语是如何制定的背景信息，希望所有读者都能尝试遵循标准化术语。
