UV Dose and Sunburn
- Use this plot to estimate the MED dose leading to sunburn. A person
with Type II (Environment Canada) skin type might choose 0.75 MED as the maximum for the
day; in contrast, a person with Type V (Environment Canada) Skin Type might consider 2.5
MEDs a reasonable dose for the day. NOTE: the Vantage Pro assumes a Fitzpatrick (Environ-
ment Canada) Skin Type of II.
