Spatiotemporal exposure modeling of ambient erythemal ultraviolet radiation
BACKGROUND Ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation plays a multifaceted role in human health, inducing DNA damage and representing the primary source of vitamin D for most humans; however, current U.S. UV exposure models are limited in spatial, temporal, and/or spectral resolution. Area-to-point (ATP) residual kriging is a geostatistical method that can be used to create a spatiotemporal exposure model ...
متن کاملErythemal irradiances of filtered ultraviolet radiation.
A spectrum evaluator (3 cm x 3 cm) employing four passive dosimeters has been used to evaluate the time averaged spectrum to allow calculation of the erythemal exposures resulting from the predominantly UVA component of filtered solar ultraviolet radiation. An exposure interval of approximately 20 min to autumn and spring sunshine was required for the spectrum evaluator to allow evaluation of t...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Disability-Adjusted Life Years of Cataracts and Ambient Erythemal Ultraviolet Radiation in China
BACKGROUND Cataracts are one of the major public health problems worldwide. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is one of the risk factors for cataract development. We analyzed the relationship between disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates of cataracts and UVR exposure in China. METHODS DALY rates of cataracts and UVR exposure in 31 regions of China were calculated based on data from the Second ...
متن کاملThe Relationship between the Disability Prevalence of Cataracts and Ambient Erythemal Ultraviolet Radiation in China
In Western countries, ultraviolet (UV)-induced skin cancer has been studied extensively regarding the high incidence of skin cancers in the white population; however, for people of color, cataracts are the main public health issue in relation to increased ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR). To our knowledge, few studies have been conducted examining the relationship between cataracts and ambie...
متن کاملPersonal exposure distribution of solar erythemal ultraviolet radiation in tree shade over summer.
The personal radiant exposure distribution of solar erythemal UV in tree shade for an upright posture was measured, with measurements over the whole summer for a total of 17 trees. For each tree, the personal radiant exposure distribution was measured for both the morning and afternoon periods. The exposure ratios averaged over all the trees and over the morning and afternoon periods ranged fro...
