Abstract

A step-by-step analysis of the ultraviolet spectrum was carried out. It is shown that UV-B and UV-C light are present on the Earth's surface in small doses. UV-A light on the Earth's surface has significant doses leading to photolysis and destruction of heteroorganic polymers. In order to conduct research by simulating light aging, it is necessary to simulate solar radiation in the range from 290 nm (UV-B) with a set of LED radiation sources that fully correspond to the spectral composition and power of Sunlight on the Earth's surface.
