Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (= cyanoHABs) are an increasing feature of many
waterbodies throughout the world. Many bloom-forming species produce toxins, making …

The projected large increases in damaging ultraviolet radiation as a result of global
emissions of ozone-depleting substances have been forestalled by the success of the …

We assess the importance of factors that determine the intensity of UV radiation at the
Earth's surface. Among these, atmospheric ozone, which absorbs UV radiation, is of …

In 2009, a preliminary framework for how climate change could affect worker safety and
health was described. That framework was based on a literature search from 1988–2008 …

Brazil is a country of continental dimensions with a large heterogeneity of climates and
massive mixing of the population. Almost the entire national territory is located between the …

Tropical coastal waters are highly dynamic and amongst the most biogeochemical active
zones in the ocean. This review compares nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles in …

Due to the implementation of the Montreal Protocol, which has limited, and is now probably
reversing, the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, only modest increases in solar UV …

Recalcitrant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) released into seawater end up in the
deep sea sediments (DSSs). However, their fate here is often oversimplified by theoretical …

Solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation has played a crucial role in the evolution of life on Earth.
UV exposure presents both risks and benefits to humans. Optimal UV-B exposure behaviors …

The stratospheric ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet (UV)
radiation from the sun. The spatial and temporal distribution of stratospheric ozone is …
