It is well known that UV radiation has a significant effect on our ecologic system. The risks that may be caused by the increases in ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the earth’s surface due to the depletion of stratospheric ozone have been studied by many researchers. Although UVB radiation consists only a small fraction of the global solar UV radiation, it causes harmful effects on human, animal and plant. Furthermore, UVB may have several adverse effects on living organism in terrestrial and sea ecosystem.

The aim of this work is to investigate the usability of thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs) in measuring the solar UVB radiation. TLDs have some superior characteristics such as their availability, being cheap and easy to use. In this study, we used Al2O3:C thermoluminescence dosimeters for measuring the UVB radiation, They are very sensitive to low ionizing radiation doses and UVB radiation. The daily exposures of the ground surface UVB radiation were periodically measured using aluminium oxide dosimeters. The measurements were taken from 09:00 to 16:00 in each study day. Obtained results were observed to be consistent with the UV data received from Ege University, Solar Energy Institute.

Solar UV radyasyonunun ekolojik sistem üzerine önemli etkileri olduğu bilinmektedir. Stratosferdeki ozon tabakasının incelmesi nedeniyle yeryüzüne ulaşan ultraviyole (UV) radyasyonundaki artışların oluşturabileceği riskler birçok araştırmacı tarafından çalışılmaktadır. UVB radyasyonu, küresel solar UV radyasyonunun sadece küçük bir kısmını oluştursa da, insan ve hayvanlar ile bitkiler üzerinde zararlı etkilere neden olmaktadır. Ayrıca, UVB radyasyonun karasal ve deniz ekosistemindeki canlı organizmalar üzerinde olumsuz etkileri de bulunmaktadır.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, solar UVB radyasyonunun ölçülmesinde termolüminesans dozimetrelerinin (TLD) kullanılabilirliğini araştırmaktır. TLD'ler, ucuz olmaları kolay bulunabilmeleri ve basit kullanımları gibi bazı üstün özelliklere sahiptir. Araştırmamızda, UVB radyasyonunu ölçmek için Al2O3: C termolüminesans dozimetreleri kullanılmış olup bunlar, düşük iyonlaştırıcı radyasyon dozlarına ve UVB radyasyonuna çok duyarlıdır. Yeryüzüne ulaşan UVB radyasyonunun günlük miktarıçalışma yapılan günlerde 09:00 ile 16:00 saatleri arasında periyodik olarak alüminyum oksit dozimetrelerle ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçların Ege Üniversitesi Güneş Enerjisi Enstitüsü' nden alınan UV radyasyon verileri ile uyumlu olduğu görülmüştür.
