Analysis of the UVB radiation during the events of influence of the Antarctic Ozone Hole over South of Brazil
Excess exposure to solar UV radiation can be harmful to all living beings. It can affect aquatic and land animals, plants and can cause serious issues on human health, such as sunburn, eye damage and long-term exposure can lead to skin cancer, photoaging. Antarctic Ozone hole (AOH) is characterized...

Excess exposure to solar UV radiation can be harmful to all living beings. It can affect aquatic and land animals, plants and can cause serious issues on human health, such as sunburn, eye damage and long-term exposure can lead to skin cancer, photoaging. Antarctic Ozone hole (AOH) is characterized by an extreme reduction in ozone content in the Antarctic region during spring in the southern hemisphere. Secondary effects of AOH are caused by air masses poor in ozone that reach mid-latitude regions, including the south of Brazil. The low content in ozone in these air masses allows the higher intensity of UV radiation to reach the surface, due to less absorption of radiation by ozone. The simplest way to alert the population on the amount of UV radiation they are being exposed to is through the UV index, depending on its level, precautions can be taken to avoid excessive exposure.
