> Here is an opportunity for teachers to collect information on a hazard (UV
> light) and become part of a UV monitoring network which has been established
> on the internet. It might be a nice activity for students to become involved
> with after they have been through one of the modules. This seems similar to
> the pollen count info you can look up on the web.

> For the past 10 years, Sunsor, Inc. has been supplying a small, hand held
> UV meter to TV stations, universities, science centers, and to schools at
> all grade levels to measure hourly/daily UV intensity. In 1996, a
> nationwide UV monitoring network was established on the Internet, and
> volunteers report UV highs which are published hourly on the Web page.
>
> This real time data is not available elsewhere, and to complete the UV map
> of the country, an invitation is extended to each school system to
> participate in this project.
>
> This concept also provides teachers with a project involving health and
> science issues, as well as computer use, Internet activity, and valuable
> daily data collection.
>
> For your personal use, this FDA approved UV meter can be purchased from
> Sunsor, priced at $39.95 plus $4.50 shipping and handling.
