# Action spectrum for DNA damage # Spectrum suggested by: # R. B. Setlow, # "The wavelengths in sunlight effective in producing skin cancer: # a theoretical analysis", Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., USA, 71 , No. 9, # pp. 3363-3366, 1974 # Figure 1 in the paper by Setlow was parameterized as follows.: # A = 10 ^ (13.04679 + (W * -0.047012)) for 286 <= W <2 90 # A = 10 ^ (20.75595 + (W * -0.073595)) for 290 <= W < 295 # A = 10 ^ (30.12706 + (W * -0.105362)) for 295 <= W < 300 # A = 10 ^ (42.94028 + (W * -0.148073)) for 300 <= W < 305 # A = 10 ^ (45.24538 + (W * -0.15563)) for 305 <= W < 340 # Dose rates derived with this action spectrum are part of NSF UV database 3 and # are labeled "Setlow". # Integration range: 286 - 340 nm # The action spectrum suggested by Setlow describes the relative biological effect # per quantum. For the parameterization given above and the values below it was # assumed that the the action spectrum describes the effect per energy unit. 286 3.9935E-01 287 3.5838E-01 288 3.2161E-01 289 2.8862E-01 290 2.5906E-01 291 2.1868E-01 292 1.8459E-01 293 1.5582E-01 294 1.3153E-01 295 1.1099E-01 296 8.7078E-02 297 6.8320E-02 298 5.3602E-02 299 4.2055E-02 300 3.2990E-02 301 2.3459E-02 302 1.6681E-02 303 1.1862E-02 304 8.4351E-03 305 6.0011E-03 306 4.1937E-03 307 2.9307E-03 308 2.0480E-03 309 1.4312E-03 310 1.0002E-03 311 6.9896E-04 312 4.8845E-04 313 3.4134E-04 314 2.3854E-04 315 1.6670E-04 316 1.1649E-04 317 8.1409E-05 318 5.6891E-05 319 3.9757E-05 320 2.7783E-05 321 1.9416E-05 322 1.3568E-05 323 9.4818E-06 324 6.6261E-06 325 4.6305E-06 326 3.2359E-06 327 2.2614E-06 328 1.5803E-06 329 1.1044E-06 330 7.7176E-07 331 5.3932E-07 332 3.7690E-07 333 2.6338E-07 334 1.8406E-07 335 1.2863E-07 336 8.9888E-08 337 6.2816E-08 338 4.3898E-08 339 3.0677E-08 340 2.1438E-08 340.01 1e-50
