During leisure time, people can decide if they want to expose themselves solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation and what extent. While working, do not have this choice. Outdoor workers are exposed UV (UVR) on a daily basis. This may pose certain health risk, which be estimated when the personal UVR exposure (PE) is known. past decades, variety of studies were conducted measure PE outdoor our knowledg...

Many workers perform their daily activities outdoors undertaking different postures and many anatomical body sites are UVR exposed. This paper aims to compare the anatomical distribution of the solar erythemal UVR to the higher half of the body for farm workers during their usual working activity in agriculture. This research was carried out in the experimental farm“Azienda Agraria Didattico-Sp...

Electron antineutrino interactions above the inverse beta decay energy of protons (Eν̄e >1.8 MeV) were looked for with the Borexino Counting Test Facility (CTF). One candidate event survived after rejection of background, which included muon-induced neutrons and random coincidences. An upper limit on the solar ν̄e flux, assumed having the B solar neutrino energy spectrum, of 1.1×10 cm s (90% C.L....

The effect of ultraviolet radiation on the bioavailability of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to marine bacterioplankton was investigated in the Mediterranean Sea (Strait of Gibraltar, South and North Aegean Sea) and in the Caribbean Sea off Curaçao. Surface-water samples (collected between 1 and 85 m in depth) exposed to solar radiation did not show a distinct pattern in subsequent bacterial gr...

Teachers and students attending schools potentially face a harsh environmental solar exposure risk on a daily basis. Solar ultraviolet radiation is a known carcinogen, yet the realities of exposure to the sun are not often detected until years or even decades later, until the development of a skin cancer or cancers are noticed. Each new school year brings with it the potential for summer sunbur...

BACKGROUND Melanoma incidence and survival are positively associated, both geographically and temporally. Solar elastosis, a histologic indicator of cutaneous sun damage, has also been positively associated with melanoma survival. Although these observations raise the possibility that sun exposure increases melanoma survival, they could be explained by an association between incidence and early...

Sunlight may be related to cognitive function through vitamin D metabolism or circadian rhythm regulation. The analysis presented here sought to test whether ground and satellite measures of solar radiation are associated with cognitive decline. The study used a 15-year residential history merged with satellite and ground monitor data to determine sunlight (solar radiation) and air temperature ...
