N2 - Biologically effective doses of ambient solar-UV radiation were determined using spore dosimeters both m Indonesia and in Japan. The maximum noontime dose rates determined a, Denpasar Were 0.6 SID/min (spore inactivation dose per minute), that was about twice as high as obtained in Tokyo on clear days at a similar solar altitude. Samples were covered with two types of blue polyethylene sheet to allow the measurement of cumulative daily and monthly doses. Monthly doses exhibited striking differences seasonal changes in Indonesia and Japan. Estimated values of SID for a whole year from September 1998 were 10,000, 29,000 and 53,000 at Tokyo, Jakarta and Denpasar, respectively.
