UV radiation in global climate change : measurements, modeling and effects on ecosystems, Wei Gao, Daniel L. Schmoldt, James R. Slusser [editors], (electronic book)

Contributor
Summary
Numerous studies report that ultraviolet (UV) radiation is harmful to living organisms and detrimental to human health. Growing concerns regarding the increased levels of UV-B radiation that reach the earth's surface have led to the development of ground- and space-based measurement programs. Further study is needed on the measurement, modeling, and effects of UV radiation. The chapters of this book describe the research conducted across the globe over the past three decades in the areas of: (1) current and predicted levels of UV radiation and its associated impact on ecosystems and human heal
