—The viability of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, as measured by trypan blue dye exclusion, is decreased by exposure to UV radiation in vitro . The toxicity of the UV radiation is doseand wavelength‐dependent; UVC is approximately 10 times more effective than UVB and 10 5 times more effective than UVA.
