Table 4.

Ambient erythemal UV doses (Her) calculated for different time intervals on days with a UVI value of 0, 1, and 2 and corresponding proportion of days with doses from those intervals exceeding one MED for the Fitzpatrick [21] skin types I to VI. (1 SED = 1 standard erythema dose = 100 J/m² weighted with the CIE erythema reference action spectrum [14]).
