There is a growing awareness of the hazards of ultraviolet (UV) radiation to the health of the community and to our environment's integrity. There is a need for monitoring this hazard. Until recently, UV radiation sensors tended to be relatively expensive. However, as a result of the introduction of mass-produced GaAs photodiodes in the late 1980s, UV radiation now can be measured more accurately, cost-effectively and conveniently. A new, low-cost sensor is available with a wavelength tailored to the skin's erythmal response without additional complex circuitry or filter elements; it can be used in a variety of settings.
人们越来越意识到紫外线（UV）辐射对公众健康和我们环境完整性的危害。因此需要对这种危害进行监测。直到最近，紫外线辐射传感器往往相对昂贵。然而，由于20世纪80年代末引入了大规模生产的砷化镓光电二极管，现在可以更准确、经济高效且方便地测量紫外线辐射。一种新型低成本传感器可供使用，其波长适合皮肤的红斑反应，无需额外的复杂电路或过滤元件；它可用于多种环境。
