Environmental effects and interactions of stratospheric ozone depletion, UV radiation, and climate change: 2018 assessment
Human health in relation to exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation under changing stratospheric ozone and climate
The Montreal Protocol has limited increases in the UV-B (280–315 nm) radiation reaching the Earth's surface as a result of depletion of stratospheric ozone. Exposure to UV-B radiation has both risks and benefits for human health.
Solar UV radiation in a changing world: roles of cryosphere–land–water–atmosphere interfaces in global biogeochemical cycles
Influence of global change on biogeochemical cycles within and between environmental compartments: cryosphere, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and the atmosphere.
The interactive effects of stratospheric ozone depletion, UV radiation, and climate change on aquatic ecosystems
Summary of current knowledge about effects of UV radiation in inland and oceanic waters related to stratospheric ozone depletion and climate change.
Linkages between stratospheric ozone, UV radiation and climate change and their implications for terrestrial ecosystems
Linkages between stratospheric ozone, UV radiation and climate change: terrestrial ecosystems.
Ozone–climate interactions and effects on solar ultraviolet radiation
Conceptual representation of interactive effects of changes in greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances on climate and stratospheric ozone, which together with changes in aerosols, clouds and surface reflectivity determine UV-B radiation at Earth's surface.
Interactive effects of changing stratospheric ozone and climate on tropospheric composition and air quality, and the consequences for human and ecosystem health
Air quality, including gases like ozone and particles, is determined by the complex interaction of emissions and UV radiation.
Interactive effects of solar UV radiation and climate change on material damage
Solar UV radiation adversely affects the properties of organic materials used in construction, such as plastics and wood.
About this collection
The seven papers published in this issue of Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences comprise the assessment of the interactive effects of ozone depletion, anticipated ozone recovery, and climate change on UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface, and the resultant implications for human health and the environment.
