چکیده
During the summer months, from June thru September, in Opatija and island of Rab area, we conducted UVA and UVB measurements using a professional detector: Solar Light Co., Inc. USA. Ordering: PMA2110 UV-A and PMA2101 UV-B detector. We conducted global UVA and UVB measurements in the 2006 to 2011 period. Results of the measurements show June to September daily, 10 am to 3 pm, UVA and UVB variations to be above allowed values especially in the maritime area. The measurements were performed in cooperation with "Dr. B. Vojniković" Daily eye clinic and the University of Applied Sciences Velika Gorica, Velika Gorica, Croatia.

Background: The increasing evidences show that global depletion of stratospheric ozone layer is caused by pollutant and growing incidence of the skin cancer and cataract is related to the amounts of solar UV radiation reaching the earth ׳s surface. Therefore, the main driving force behind such efforts has been the lack of an appropriate network in scope monitoring of the terrestrial UV...
متن کاملAnalysis of the diurnal distribution of Ultraviolet exposure on upper body anatomical sites for outdoor workers
Many workers perform their daily activities outdoors and many anatomical body sites are exposed to UV radiation. The effects of solar radiation on human health depend on the amount and type of radiation impinging on the body. This paper aims to investigate and analyse the diurnal UV radiation exposure at typical anatomical site for farm workers. The diurnal distribution in solar UV exposure at ...
متن کاملMeasurement of solar ultraviolet radiation in Yazd, Iran
Background: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is divided into three regions: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Both the quality and quantity of solar UV radiation vary with various factors including the elevation of the sun above the horizon, as well as absorption and scattering of UV photons by molecules in the atmosphere, notably ozone and clouds. It is clear that whereas a moderate amount of UV exposure ...

We carried out experiments during an expedition (14 August to 14 September, 2007) that covered up to 250,000 km(2) to investigate the effects of solar UV radiation (UVR, 280-400 nm) on the photosynthetic carbon fixation of tropical phytoplankton assemblages in surface seawater of the South China Sea. From coastal to pelagic surface seawaters, UV-B (280-315 nm) caused similar inhibition, while U...
