“…Since the 1970s, some studies have measured sun exposure during selected activities such as gardening or walking (7,8,9,10,11).Others have focussed on measuring personal solar UVR exposure to generate baseline exposures in different population groups and behavioural settings (12,13). There have also been a few longitudinal studies concerning child sun exposure (14,15,16).…”

Personal sun exposure measurements provide important information to guide the development of sun awareness and disease prevention campaigns. We assess the scaling properties of personal ultraviolet radiation (pUVR) sun exposure measurements using the Wavelet Transform (WT) spectral analysis to process long-range, high frequency personal recordings collected by electronic UVR dosimeters designed to measure erythemal UVR exposure. We analyzed the sun exposure recordings of schoolchildren, farmers, marathon runners and outdoor workers in South Africa, and construction workers and work site supervisors in New Zealand.We found scaling behavior in all the analysed pUVR datasets. We found that the observed scaling changes from uncorrelated to long-range correlated with increasing duration of sun exposure. Peaks in the WT spectra that we found suggest the existence of characteristic times in sun exposure behavior that were to some extent universal across our dataset. Our study also showed that WT measures enable group classification, as well as distinction between individual UVR exposures, otherwise unattainable by conventional statistical methods.

“…High volumes of physical activity can be associated with significantly elevated risk; several studies have shown that UVR exposure levels of cyclists and tri-athletes are high, and can greatly exceed the limits recommended by the International Commission for Non-ionizing Radiation Protection [9][10][11].…”

“…Current new technology includes the use of UV dosimeter badges that calculate UV exposure levels and indicate the need for sunscreen, and reflective materials that restrict UV penetration into the skin. 6 Sun protection awareness and implementation is often focused on outdoor summer sports. However, it has been recognised that some winter sports take place outside.…”
