In this paper, a relation between the ultraviolet index (UVI) as a Sun exposure time and its effects in the form of burns according to the skin type has been elaborated. Moreover, we present a new expression that relates the intensity of solar radiation and the UVI, as well as expressions to obtain the percentage of population affected both by first and second degree lllsunburn for every skin-type. The results have been adjusted and validated through experimental results taken from the bibliography. Finally, this paper presents a table where the population can easily interpret the UVI values and calculate the maximum time one can be exposed to solar radiation without getting sunburn. In addition, this article aims to raise awareness of the potential harm caused by solar radiation by indicating the percentage of population affected by different types of sunburn depending on skin-type. Moreover, ultraviolet exposure to sunlight could not just result in sunburn, but also have long-term effects on eyes, or even cause immune system disorders or melanoma. Therefore, managing risk perception with this useful table could familiarize the population with actual harm prevention.
本文阐述了紫外线指数 (UVI) 与阳光暴露时间的关系及其对皮肤类型造成灼伤的影响。此外，我们还提出了一个新的表达式，将太阳辐射强度与 UVI 相关联，以及获得每种皮肤类型的第一级和第二级晒伤人群百分比的表达式。通过从文献中获取的实验结果对结果进行了调整和验证。最后，本文提供了一个表格，方便人们解读 UVI 值并计算在不被晒伤的情况下可以承受的最大阳光暴露时间。此外，本文旨在通过指出不同皮肤类型的晒伤人群百分比，提高人们对太阳辐射潜在危害的认识。此外，阳光紫外线照射不仅会导致晒伤，还会对眼睛造成长期影响，甚至导致免疫系统紊乱或黑色素瘤。因此，通过使用这张有用的表格来管理风险感知，可以让人们熟悉实际的伤害预防。
