“…Low doses of UV are sufficient to enable calcium and phosphorous metabolic regulation, vitamin D photosynthesis and to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema (Diffey, 1998). Antineoplastic effects of vitamin D produced by UV radiation around the time of cancer diagnosis have recently been advanced (Robsahm et al, 2004;Berwick et al, 2005;Egan et al, 2005;Lim et al, 2006).…”

“…Excessive exposure to UV from the sun can result in various undesirable effects on human skin and eyes [1]. For example, it is well known that UV radiation causes sunburn, and that excess doses of UV may result in pain, blisters, and peeling skin.…”

“…However, solar UV-B causes a much greater biological damage than UV-A, contributing to about 80 % of all harmful effects we associate with sun exposure. Although UV-B radiation is necessary for biological processes such as vitamin D 3 synthesis, it also causes many acute and chronic conditions (1). Damages may be on the cell level (DNA damages), tissue (induction of sunburn-erythema, ageing of skin) and the whole body (skin cancers, other cancers, eye disorders, immunosuppression) (2, 3).…”

“…The effect of UV radiation on a biological specimen is determined by spectral irradiance, I λ (W m -2 nm -1 ) delivered to the surface of a biological body and the duration of exposure, T. Total exposure E (J m -2 ) is calculated as a time integral of the spectral irradiance according to the equation [1] Total exposure provides information about the total photon energy in the UV waveband falling on a unit area of the body's surface. However, the response of the biological body varies with radiation wavelength.…”
