Background:

Blue light (VIS(BL)) exposure poses a hazard.
Accurate measurement of blue light exposure is crucial for population studies.
Existing methods for measuring blue light hazard may have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel dosemeter for quantifying blue light (VIS(BL)) exposure.
To assess the suitability of a polysulfone and phenothiazine combination for this purpose.
To evaluate the dosemeter's response to solar radiation across different wavelengths.

Main Methods:

Development of a VIS(BL) dosemeter utilizing polysulfone and phenothiazine.
Incorporation of a low-pass filter to exclude ultraviolet wavelengths below 380 nm.
Measurement of optical absorbance changes at 437 nm to quantify exposure.

Main Results:

The dosemeter demonstrated a significant change in optical absorbance at 437 nm when exposed to solar blue light.
The combination of polysulfone and phenothiazine reacted to both ultraviolet and visible solar spectrum wavelengths.
Preliminary findings indicate slow saturation, allowing measurement of exposures exceeding 1200 kJ m(-2).

Conclusions:

The developed VIS(BL) dosemeter shows promise for population studies of blue light hazard.
The dosemeter's sensitivity to specific wavelengths and its measurement capacity are significant.
Further research is warranted to validate its performance in diverse environmental conditions.
