CR-39 (allyl diglycol carbonate) dosimeters were tested for measurements of ultraviolet-B (erythemal dose) solar radiation with a rotating model head and a human survey during solar exposure. The ratio of summer dose to winter dose for the vertex is 3.3, and for the eye and lower face is greater than 1. A survey suggests the relation of the ultraviolet-B dose to outdoor activities.
