Abstract
ABSTRACT The Global Solar Ultraviolet (UV) Index provides limited information on health effects due to over-exposure. This study investigated the change in skin physiology in response to solar UV irradiation and the protective efficacy of a sunscreen. Fourteen female participants were divided into two groups, sunscreen users and non-users, and for 8 weeks they received solar irradiation and were monitored for change in the erythema-index (E-index), melanin-index, skin capillary blood flow, skin moisture, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and skin temperature. The E-index and TEWL responded proportionally to solar radiation and could serve as indices of acute health effects from UV exposure. In the sun-radiated area, the E-index and TEWL measured on the forearm of the non-users were 111.3% and 138.4% of the levels determined for the users, respectively. Although thermal sensation and thermo-physiology were correlated, physiological monitoring was preferred over thermal sensation survey in evaluating the impact of solar UV irradiation.
期刊介绍：
Environmental Pollutants & Bioavailability is a peer-reviewed open access forum for insights on the chemical aspects of pollutants in the environment and biota, and their impacts on the uptake of the substances by living organisms.
Topics include the occurrence, distribution, transport, transformation, transfer, fate, and effects of environmental pollutants, as well as their impact on living organisms. Substances of interests include heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and emerging contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials, as well as pharmaceuticals and personal-care products as pollutants.
