Abstract:
Summary:
Adverse effects of UV radiation on living organisms, although known since the nineteenth century, only with the discovery of the reduction in thickness of the ozone layer over the Antarctic and the emergence of the ozone hole in the 80-ies of the last century, drew worldwide attention to UV radiation as an environmental problem.
The paper presents the results of measurements of all three types of natural UV radiation (UV-A, UV-B and UV-C) in the village of Stanisic, Sombor municipality. The measurement lasted three times in seven days, at 10h, 14h and 18h each lasting three minutes and was conducted on both the concrete and grass surfaces. The results point to several important conclusions: UV-C component was not present in any measurement, the intensity of UV-B component was an order of magnitude less than the intensity of UV-A component and it has been shown that the surface has no significant impact on the intensity of UV radiation.
