Ultraviolet radiation and health: from hazard identification to effective prevention.
The increased exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation due to ozone depletion is one of the most serious global health problems. The UV exposure is known to cause skin carcinoma, cataract and deteriorated immune function, but for countries like Japan, the magnitude of health effects of UV radiation is yet to be elucidated. The International Workshop on the Health Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation ...

متن کاملThe scientific basis of the radiation hazard.
Radiation hazards have been known for more than 60 years. Only a few months after Rontgen’s discovery in I 895, enthusiasts were burning themselves and their patients by liberal applications of the new X-rays. Soon the dangers of X-rays and radium became all too obvious, or so it seems to us. At the time, few people were much alarmed and no effective measures of control were organized until abo...
