B L Diffey, and A Davis, and M Johnson, and T R Harrington

A polymer film, which incorporates phenothiazine as the chromophore, has been developed as a personnel dosimeter for long wave ultraviolet radiation. It is stable, reproducible and is particularly suited to monitoring the doses received by patients undergoing photochemotherapy for psoriasis.
