A study published last week on line in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention showed that individuals that used conventional tanning devices had almost a two-fold increase in developing melanoma, while those that used high speed/high intensity (more ultraviolet-B) or high pressure (more ultraviolet-A) devices had close to a three-fold and 4. 5-fold increase in melanoma, respectively.

Increases in ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation levels in the Arctic associated with thinning of the atmospheric ozone layer may have consequences for life processes of both plants and animals, however little is known of possible effects on wildlife (Chapter 7).

Enhanced carbon dioxide concentrations and ultraviolet-B radiation levels affect plant tissue chemistry and thereby have subtle but long-term impacts on ecosystem processes that reduce nutrient cycling and have the potential to decrease productivity and increase or decrease herbivory.
