Stratospheric Ozone and Human Health Project

Human Health Data Resources

Introduction and Purpose. The potential impacts of ozone depletion on human health as a result of increased ultraviolet radiation are well-documented in many scientific journals and international assessment panel reports. However, data relevant to the UV radiation and human health issue are widely scattered and often difficult to locate. Sources of such data include local and regional disease registries, national and international surveys, and epidemiological studies. The purpose of this project is to provide a centralized directory from which users may access available sources of data related to human health effects of ultraviolet radiation exposure.
