UV radiation can cause serious skin and eye diseases, especially cancers. UV-related skin cancer incidences have been increasing for decades. The determining factor for this development is the individual UV exposure. Climate change-induced changes in atmospheric factors can influence individual UV exposure.
On the basis of a topic-specific literature research, a review paper was prepared and supplemented by as yet unpublished results of the authors' own studies. The need for scientific research and development is formulated as well as primary prevention recommendations.
Climate change alters the factors influencing UV irradiance and annual UV dose in Germany. First evaluations of satellite data for Germany show an increase in mean peak UV irradiance and annual UV dose for the last decade compared to the last three decades.
The climate change-related influences on individual UV exposure and the associated individual disease incidence cannot yet be reliably predicted due to considerable uncertainties. However, the current UV-related burden of disease already requires primary preventive measures to prevent UV-related diseases.
紫外线辐射可导致严重的皮肤和眼部疾病,尤其是癌症。几十年来,与紫外线相关的皮肤癌发病率一直在上升。这种发展的决定性因素是个体的紫外线暴露。气候变化引起的大气因素变化会影响个体的紫外线暴露。
在特定主题文献研究的基础上,撰写了一篇综述论文,并补充了作者自己研究中尚未发表的结果。提出了科学研究和开发的需求以及一级预防建议。
气候变化改变了影响德国紫外线辐照度和年紫外线剂量的因素。对德国卫星数据的初步评估显示,与过去三十年相比,过去十年的平均紫外线峰值辐照度和年紫外线剂量有所增加。
由于存在相当大的不确定性,与气候变化相关的对个体紫外线暴露及相关个体疾病发病率的影响尚无法可靠预测。然而,当前与紫外线相关的疾病负担已经需要采取一级预防措施来预防与紫外线相关的疾病。
