Assessing a portable, real‐time display handheld meter with UV‐A and UV‐B sensors for potential application in personal sun exposure studies

Background Observing accurate real‐time measurements of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) levels is important since personal excess sun exposure is associated with skin cancers. Handheld measurement devices may be helpful but their accuracy is unknown. We compare a portable, science‐grade solar UVR...
