The monitoring of ultraviolet (UV) radiation is essential for assessing health risks, especially in urban areas, where radiation is influenced by factors such as buildings and vegetation. This study evaluated the feasibility of a low-cost device for measuring UV radiation by comparing its data with a reference device. A polynomial regression model was developed between the Ultraviolet Index (UVI) and the low-cost equipment, which showed low errors and good adherence to reference values. The results indicate that affordable sensors, when calibrated, can provide representative UV radiation monitoring in various contexts. The research highlights the importance of portable, low-cost devices and suggests integrating them with emerging technologies to improve the reliability of these measurements.
