Values of ambient solar ultraviolet radiation and estimated hourly radiation for both erythemal (UVB) and UVA radiation are presented for the latitudes where the major studies of human cutaneous melanoma have been performed; 50-55 degrees N (Denmark and Western Canada), 30-34 degrees S (Western Australia) and 15-27 degrees N (Queensland). Comparisons are made for exposure patterns relating to constant and to intermittent exposure, and combinations of these. The results show that the wavelength distribution of solar ultraviolet radiation varies with latitude and exposure pattern. At higher latitudes, the contribution of exposure at peak periods is more marked. The comparison or combination or results from epidemiological studies at different locations will be aided by this consideration of the variation in different aspects of solar radiation, and tables are given for this purpose.
文中给出了主要开展人类皮肤黑素瘤研究的几个纬度地区的环境太阳紫外线辐射值，以及红斑（UVB）和UVA辐射的每小时估计辐射量；北纬50 - 55度（丹麦和加拿大西部）、南纬30 - 34度（澳大利亚西部）和北纬15 - 27度（昆士兰）。对与持续暴露、间歇暴露以及二者组合相关的暴露模式进行了比较。结果表明，太阳紫外线辐射的波长分布随纬度和暴露模式而变化。在较高纬度地区，高峰期暴露的贡献更为显著。考虑到太阳辐射不同方面的变化，将有助于对不同地点的流行病学研究结果进行比较、综合，为此给出了相关表格。
