A sunlight exposure indicator device is disclosed that can determine the amount of time (e.g., hours) of PAR sunlight that occurs in a specific area for the optimal growth of a plant, as corresponds to the plant industry common designations of Full Shade, Partial Shade, Partial Sun and Full Sun. These designations can be used to determine plant selection for all types of plants including grasses, shrubs, flowers, vegetables and herbs, and trees. This device utilizes irreversible, slow-reacting, photochromic pigments applied to a substrate. Using multiple instances of this device will allow someone to easily test and accurately determine the amount of PAR sunlight (hours) received during a one-day sunlight cycle in multiple spots simultaneously. The sunlight exposure indicator device is a one-time-use, non-electronic, disposable device.

With the present invention, it is possible to provide an inspection tool capable of easily inspecting whether or not light which inactivates a virus or the like has been radiated and easily inspecting whether or not light which is harmful to the human body has been radiated. The inspection tool of the present invention includes a first display portion and a second display portion, in which the first display portion is a display portion which indicates a visual change before and after irradiation of the inspection tool with light having at least any of wavelengths in a wavelength range of 200 to 280 nm, and the second display portion is a display portion which does not indicate a visual change before and after irradiation of the inspection tool with light in a wavelength range of 200 to 230 nm, but indicates a visual change before and after irradiation of the inspection tool with light having at least any of wavelengths in a wavelength range of more than 230 nm and 280 nm or less.

A skin-attaching sheet including an attaching portion configured for attaching to skin. The attaching portion includes a color-changeable layer that changes color following exposure to ultraviolet rays, and the attaching portion has a color difference (E*ab) in an L*a*b* color system between before exposure and 10 seconds after exposure of 5 or more and 300 or less in a standard exposure test in which the attaching portion is exposed to ultraviolet rays in a moist state.
