Solar UV irradiance and some biological consequences: Bombay, India

Measurements of solar UV radiation (UVR) at Bombay, India, lattitude 18.5 North and longitude 72.5 East were recorded using Eppley UV radiometer for a 2-year period. The UV irradiance is calculated and presented. The annual and diurual trends in the quantitation of UVR are examined. The consequences...

Zusammenfassung:	Measurements of solar UV radiation (UVR) at Bombay, India, lattitude 18.5 North and longitude 72.5 East were recorded using Eppley UV radiometer for a 2-year period. The UV irradiance is calculated and presented. The annual and diurual trends in the quantitation of UVR are examined. The consequences of solar UVR and its projected increase are discussed with special reference to its biological effects and results of UVR on experimental animal systems vis a vis and epidemiological data in the Indian context.
