Author Description
Interest in the biological effects of longwave radiation has increaed dramatically in the last few years. The contributors to this state of the art volume discuss the most current knowledge of biological effects of UVA and provide guidelines regarding acceptable human exposure to this type of radiation.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates the physiological and cellular consequences of human exposure to longwave ultraviolet (UVA) radiation. Edited by Frederick Urbach, a recognized authority in photobiology and dermatology, the text compiles research from various contributors to synthesize current scientific understanding. It aims to establish a framework for evaluating the risks associated with UVA radiation and to propose evidence-based guidelines for safe human exposure levels.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Analysis of cellular and molecular responses to UVA exposure
- Clinical data regarding skin reactions and long-term biological impacts
- Proposed safety standards and exposure threshold guidelines
Scope Limits
- Does not cover non-UVA spectrum radiation effects in depth
- Focuses primarily on human biological impact rather than environmental or atmospheric physics
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts recognize this volume as a foundational reference for understanding the clinical implications of UVA radiation in dermatology and photobiology. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which is intended for researchers and medical professionals rather than a general audience.
