Photodermatoses are caused by an abnormal reaction mainly to the ultraviolet component of
sunlight. Photodermatoses can be broadly classified into four groups: immunologically …

A study to quantify the UV exposure of vineyard workers was carried out using polysulphone
dosimetry. The study took place in Tuscany (Italy) involving 32 vineyard workers, covering …

Overexposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a risk for public health. Therefore, it is
important to provide information to the public about the level of solar UV. The UV-Index (UVI) …
