Abstract
Endogenous synthesis of vitamin D under UV solar irradiation is widespread in the biosphere and inherent in most animals and plants. The process efficiency is crucially dependent on the intensity of the UVB component (280-315 nm) which is very changeable. Hence, in situ monitoring of solar UV radiation in regard to its ability to provide the human requirements for vitamin D deserves much concentrated attention.
