[Evaluation of ultraviolet radiation reflectance for human skin].

In a group of 20 males aged 19-20 years ultraviolet radiation reflectance of different wavelength (250-400 nm) from skin surface was measured. It was found that the reflectance increased monotonically with the decrease of wavelength. The reflectance values were compared with the coefficient of relative spectral biological effectiveness and significance of both values for evaluation of human exposure to ultraviolet radiation was discussed.
