The UV Index was established more than 20 years ago as a tool for sun protection and health care. Shortly after its introduction, UV Index monitoring started in several countries either by newly acquired instruments or by converting measurements from existing instruments into the UV Index. The number of stations and networks has increased over the years. Currently, 160 stations in 25 European countries deliver online values to the public via the Internet. In this paper an overview of these UV Index monitoring sites in Europe is given. The overview includes instruments as well as quality assurance and quality control procedures. Furthermore, some examples are given about how UV Index values are presented to the public. Through these efforts, 57% of the European population is supplied with high quality information, enabling them to adapt behaviour. Although health care, including skin cancer prevention, is cost-effective, a proportion of the European population still doesn't have access to UV Index information.
紫外线指数是20多年前作为一种防晒和医疗保健工具而设立的。在其推出后不久，一些国家就开始通过新购置的仪器或通过将现有仪器的测量值转换为紫外线指数来进行紫外线指数监测。多年来，监测站和监测网络的数量一直在增加。目前，25个欧洲国家的160个监测站通过互联网向公众提供在线数据。本文对欧洲的这些紫外线指数监测站点进行了概述。概述内容包括仪器以及质量保证和质量控制程序。此外，还给出了一些关于紫外线指数值如何向公众呈现的示例。通过这些努力，57%的欧洲人口能够获得高质量信息，从而使他们能够调整行为。尽管包括预防皮肤癌在内的医疗保健具有成本效益，但仍有一部分欧洲人口无法获取紫外线指数信息。
