This assessment by the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) of the Montreal
Protocol under the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) evaluates the effects of …

In contrast, the same WHO report noted that a markedly larger annual disease burden of 3.3
billion DALYs worldwide might result from very low levels of UVR exposure. This burden …

The Montreal Protocol has limited increases in the UV-B (280–315 nm) radiation reaching
the Earth's surface as a result of depletion of stratospheric ozone. Nevertheless, the …

Ozone depletion leads to an increase in the ultraviolet-B (UV-B) component (280–315 nm)
of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) reaching the surface of the Earth with important …

Exposure to sunlight, specifically the ultraviolet radiation, has both positive and negative
health effects. Maximizing the benefits (vitamin D synthesis) while minimizing the damage is …

ABSTRACT UV radiation affects human health. Human exposure to UV radiation causes a
few beneficial health effects like vitamin D3 formation but it causes many detrimental health …

Solar UV radiation is a ubiquitous challenge to life on earth, and to human health in
particular. As UV radiation does not penetrate any deeper than the skin, this organ has to be …

Abstract The Global Solar UV Index was developed as an easy-to-understand measure of
the amount of biologically-effective ambient solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) at different …

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is associated with both adverse and beneficial health
effects. While many of the adverse effects of excessive exposure are well known, the …

The sun is responsible for the development and continued existence of life on Earth. We are
warmed by the sun's infrared rays, and we can see with eyes that respond to the visible part …
