Abstract
EPA's UV program will focus on improving the Agency's ability to assess human exposures and effects, including: (1) to enhance the accuracy, reliability and applicability of the UV Ultraviolet Index and the predictive algorithms upon which it is based; (2) to operate EPA's UV monitoring network in order to verify and improve the Index calculations and predictions and to acquire reliable data for convolving with human effects 'action curves'; and (3) to exchange data and QA/QC procedures with other UV researchers, both within EPA, in other U.S. Agencies and institutions, and in the international community. The focus of EPA's efforts will be human exposure and effects, combined with a concerted effort at QA/QC.
