ABSTRACT:
A device for measuring a total dose of biologically effective radiation is provided, in a specific embodiment, for measuring ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) in the wavelength range of 290-400 nm. X-radiation and high-energy particle radiation are also measurable with this device. The device includes a sample of DNA dried onto a plastic film, and the analysis method includes assaying for damage with the use of polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence techniques. The damage to the DNA is correlatable with dosage via a comparison with standardized calibration data.
