ARPANSA works with AIS to reduce skin cancer risk in sports
ARPANSA contributed to the newly released Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) sun safety position statement, which aims to protect people involved in sports from cancer-causing UV radiation.
Sun protection using shade
There is well established evidence that exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun can lead to skin cancer. Seeking shade is a practical form of sun protection when used with a combination of other protective measures.
Product warning for UVC lamps and COVID-19
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) has issued a product warning to advise consumers of the dangers of portable devices that emit ultraviolet radiation (UVR).
UVC germicidal lamps for personal sterilisation
Germicidal lamps used on the body exposes you to harmful ultraviolet radiation which may cause injury and increase your risk of skin cancer and permanent eye damage.
ARPANSA expands ultraviolet radiation monitoring
We’re pleased to be partnering with the Central Highlands Regional Council to establish Queensland’s fourth location for collection of real time ultraviolet (UV) data.
Ultraviolet radiation monitoring
We maintain a network of solar ultraviolet (UV) measurements in major Australian cities and in the Australian Antarctic territories.
