摘要：

The use of tanning booths as a substitute for natural sunlight is becoming increasingly popular. Unless careful attention is paid to proper design and maintenance, the radiation field inside a tanning booth can be highly anisotropic. The use of simple, inexpensive UV radiation meters to measure dosage can lead to serious overexposure. Since the UV radiation inside a tanning booth has a greater proportion of short wavelengths (< 300 nm) than natural sunlight, the amount of skin cancer-inducing radiation received for a tan may be 2.times. that received for a natural suntan.
