ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION OCULAR EXPOSURE DOS/MErRY OF THE EYE
Acareful studyof ocularexposure to environmental sunlight demonstrates that it is not at all simple to accurately determine the level of solar ultraviolet radiation exposure of the human eye. Epidemiological studiesof cataract depend heavily upon realistic and reasonably accurate dosimetry of UVR exposure. Unfortunately, most pastattempts to measure or calculate UVR exposure of theeyeforsuch st...
متن کاملUltraviolet 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 Bystander Effect of Ultraviolet Radiation and Mediators
A bystander effect is biological changes in non-irradiated cells by transmitted signals from irradiated bystander cells, which causes the radiation toxic effects on the adjacent non-irradiated tissues. This phenomenon occurs by agents such as ionizing radiation, ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and chemotherapy. The bystander effect includes biological processes such as damage to DNA, cell death, ch...
متن کاملSolar and Ultraviolet Radiation
Terrestrial life is dependent on radiant energy from the sun. Solar radiation is largely optical radiation [radiant energy within a broad region of the electromagnetic spectrum that includes ultraviolet (UV), visible (light) and infrared radiation], although both shorter wavelength (ionizing) and longer wavelength (microwaves and radiofrequency) radiation is present. The wavelength of UV radiat...
متن کاملUltraviolet radiation and cyanobacteria.
Cyanobacteria are the dominant photosynthetic prokaryotes from an ecological, economical, or evolutionary perspective, and depend on solar energy to conduct their normal life processes. However, the marked increase in solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) caused by the continuous depletion of the stratospheric ozone shield has fueled serious concerns about the ecological consequences for all living...
