UV Radiation and the Skin [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013
UV radiation (UV) is classified as a “complete carcinogen” because it is both a mutagen and a non-specific damaging agent and has properties of both a tumor initiator and a tumor promoter. In environmental abundance, UV is the most important modifiable risk factor for skin cancer and many other environmentally-influenced skin disorders.

Photoaging: UV radiation-induced inflammation and immunosuppression accelerate the aging process in the skin

open access: yesInflammation Research, 2022
Excessive exposure of the skin to UV radiation (UVR) triggers a remodeling of the immune system and leads to the photoaging state which is reminiscent of chronological aging.

Effects of UV radiation on natural and synthetic materials

open access: yesPhotochemical and Photobiological Sciences, 2023
The deleterious effects of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation on construction materials, especially wood and plastics, and the consequent impacts on their useful lifetimes, are well documented in scientific literature.

Stratospheric ozone, UV radiation, and climate interactions

open access: yesPhotochemical and Photobiological Sciences, 2023
This assessment provides a comprehensive update of the effects of changes in stratospheric ozone and other factors (aerosols, surface reflectivity, solar activity, and climate) on the intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation at the Earth’s surface.

Interactive effects of changes in UV radiation and climate on terrestrial ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, and feedbacks to the climate system

open access: yesPhotochemical and Photobiological Sciences, 2023
Terrestrial organisms and ecosystems are being exposed to new and rapidly changing combinations of solar UV radiation and other environmental factors because of ongoing changes in stratospheric ozone and climate.

Nutritional and Physiological Effects of Postharvest UV Radiation on Vegetables: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2023

Drought and UV Radiation Stress Tolerance in Rice Is Improved by Overaccumulation of Non-Enzymatic Antioxidant Flavonoids

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Drought and ultraviolet radiation (UV radiation) are the coexisting environmental factors that negatively affect plant growth and development via oxidative damage.

Perception of solar UV radiation by plants: photoreceptors and mechanisms

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2021
About 95% of the ultraviolet (UV) photons reaching the Earth’s surface are UV-A (315–400 nm) photons. Plant responses to UV-A radiation have been less frequently studied than those to UV-B (280–315 nm) radiation.
