The main objective of our pilot study was to assess the influence of the seasonal stratospheric ozone depletion on the Antarctic UV climate by using bacterial spores. Using a biosystem as integrating UV detector, the wavelength is weighted by their cytotoxic effects without difficult setup of instruments necessary for physical dosimetry.
