Abstract
La Sociedad Americana del Cáncer ha señalado que la radiación ultravioleta es un problema para la salud, por la capacidad para generar cambios en el ADN de las células, provocando tumores malignos en la piel. Se ha identificado que los trabajadores del rubro agrícola, minero, entre otros, son el principal foco de estas enfermedades solares debido a sus largas exposiciones al sol, por esto, instituciones como la Asociación Chilena de Seguridad han generado medidas de prevención como el índice ultravioleta para disminuir los casos afectados. Hay sensores que se encargan de medir la radiación ultravioleta para que esta información procesada sea comunicada al público mediante el código de número y de colores que se conoce como índice ultravioleta, sin embargo, este información es comunicada una vez al día con el índice estimado más alto; por tal motivo se diseñó un sistema que a través de un microcontrolador Arduino Mega y sensores UV GUVA S12SD se pueda obtener la información del índice ultravioleta en tiempo real, teniendo así un dato asegurado que no ha sido estimado, para así informar a través una pantalla y/o de su teléfono inteligente alertando oportunamente a los trabajadores comprometidos.
The American Cancer Society has pointed out that ultraviolet radiation is a health problem, due to this ability to generate changes in the DNA of cells, causing malignant skin tumors. It has been identified that workers in the agricultural, mining sectors, among others, are the main focus of these solar diseases due to their long exposures to the sun, for this reason, institutions such as the Asociación Chilena de Seguridad have generated prevention measures such as the ultraviolet index to reduce the affected cases. There are sensors there are responsible for measuring ultraviolet radiation so that this processed information is communicated to the public through the number and color code known as the ultraviolet index, however, this information is communicated once a day with the highest estimated index, for this reason a system was designed that through an Arduino Mega microcontroller and GUVA S12SD UV sensors, information on the ultraviolet index can be obtained in real time, thus having an assured data that has not benn estimated, in order to inform through a screen and/or your smartphone promptly alerting committed workers.
