Spatiotemporal exposure modeling of ambient erythemal ultraviolet radiation
BACKGROUND Ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation plays a multifaceted role in human health, inducing DNA damage and representing the primary source of vitamin D for most humans; however, current U.S. UV exposure models are limited in spatial, temporal, and/or spectral resolution. Area-to-point (ATP) residual kriging is a geostatistical method that can be used to create a spatiotemporal exposure model ...
متن کاملComparison of TOMS retrievals and UVMRP measurements of surface spectral UV radiation in the United States
Surface noontime spectral ultraviolet (UV) irradiances during May-September of 2000–2004 from the total ozone mapping spectrometer (TOMS) satellite retrievals are systematically compared with the ground measurements at 27 climatological sites maintained by the USDA UV-B Monitoring and Research Program. The TOMS retrievals are evaluated by two cloud screening methods and local air quality condit...
متن کاملMesoscale distributions of ultraviolet spectral irradiance, actinic flux, and photolysis rates derived from multispectral satellite data and radiative transfer models
James R. Slusser, MEMBER SPIE Colorado State University Natural Resources Ecology Laboratory Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 Abstract. Global atmospheric trends in ozone column amount have focused attention on the environmental risk of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Monitoring UV irradiance in diverse and remote locations is necessary to understand the variability of exposure, dose rates,...
متن کاملSolar ultraviolet-B radiation monitoring in Khorram Abad city in Iran
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 کاملReport of national training course on “Medical preparedness and response to radiation emergencies”, 2-6 Oct. 2004, Tehran, Iran
During the past years, special emphasis was put on medical preparedness in the event of radiological or nuclear emergencies. Novin Medical Radiation Institute (NMRI) encouraged and supported the national authorities to enhance their cooperation in improving medical response to radiation accident. NMRI in cooperation with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Atomic Energy Organization o...
