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