Depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer has led to increased solar UV-B radiation (280–
315 nm) at the surface of the Earth. This change is likely to have had an impact on human …

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has always been part of the environment of man. UVB is
required for the conversion of 7-deoxycholesterol to vitamin D, which is critically important in …

The increase in UV-B associated with stratospheric ozone depletion is likely to have a
substantial impact on human health. Potential risks include increases in the incidence of …

The powerful rays of the sun represent a conditio sine qua non for life on earth in its present
form and a major driver for human evolution. However, solar radiation exerts both positive …

Objective To review the role of sunlight in skin aging and skin cancer formation, and to
provide guidelines on the use of sunscreens to minimize the adverse effects of sun damage …

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight is the most prominent and ubiquitous physical
carcinogen in our natural environment. It is highly genotoxic but does not penetrate the body …

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun is a well-known risk factor for human
disease. Indeed, in many countries, skin cancers are the most common types of cancer and …

There is no doubt that solar ultraviolet (UV) exposure is the most important environmental
risk factor for the development of non-melanoma skin cancer. Therefore, sun protection is of …

Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure is the primary etiological agent responsible for
developing cutaneous malignancies. Avoiding excessive radiation exposure, especially by …

Due to the implementation of the Montreal Protocol, which has limited, and is now probably
reversing, the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, only modest increases in solar UV …
