    Summer UV Index Indicator

    This is a marketign piece I created for our office, which is purposely generic in nature to allow the masses to use it. Their is a tool to alow you to look up the EPA UV Index for the day and then their are 11 7' x 7' placards that can be displayed in a store window or front door to allow onlookers to gain a bit of information concerning UV. The placards are designed by me using a similar design t the EPAs UV poster for a more seamless and coherent look. You'll also find the:

    UV Guide
    UV Poster
    UV Handout

    on the ATO site for download as well to complete the mareting piece, I suggest that it be paired with a FREE sunglass UV analysis, this could be done using a photometer from either BPI or Chris Ryser's optochemicals. This can be a great educational piece that allows the patients to see the difference between quality sunglasses and the stuff they get OTC.

    Anyone interested in the widget code to place a lookup tool on their websites:

    HTML Code:
    <form action='http://oaspub.epa.gov/enviro/uv_search' method='get'>
    <table style='border: 0px;'>
    <tr>
    <td colspan='2'><b>UV Index Lookup Tool</b></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Zipcode</td>
    <td style='text-align: left;'><input type='text' size='15' name='zipcode'/></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td style='text-align: left;'><input type='submit' value='UV Index'  /></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </form>

    Great Idea Harry, thanks!! You know my limited computer skills, so a little help here. I printed the PDF with the EPA UV index, but how do I print the 11 pages with the different UV levels?? ( 1-11 )

    Sorry guy's and gals. Right click on each individual image and select Save Picture As..., then pick whatever folder you want to put it in and there you have it. There is a screen grab below.

    Thanks Harry again. Pictures loaded, just need to be re-sized a tad, as my printer cut off the bottom with the number a bit. Mrs Obx can do that for me.
