Solar ultraviolet radiation effects on biological systems
Open accessAbstract
Ultraviolet climatology is outlined including atmospheric ozone and factors affecting terrestrial ultraviolet radiation. Solar dosimetry in photobiology and terrestrial UV monitoring are discussed. Molecular and cellular ultraviolet photobiology are described. The effect of solar UV on aquatic life and plants is outlined. The effects of solar UV on human skin such as sunburn, tanning, vitamin D 3 production, photo-ageing, melanomas and skin cancer are described. The effect of solar UV on the eye is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
