Occupational exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation among outdoor workers in Lisbon, 2023—first results of the MEAOW study
This study measured solar UVR exposure in important occupations not so often studied. The ICNRIP occupational limit value of 133 J/m<sup>-2</sup> was surpassed in all occupations except the Pavers. These results showcase that the design of adequate prevention campaigns for preventing occupational skin cancer in outdoor workers should include personalized exposure risk messaging in the future.
