Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in environmental assessment. Analysis of two meteorological databases, from Israel and New Zealand, used in this study revealed that the UV radiation component in the environmental stress assessment was not significant. However, because of the health hazards, an independent UV index should be implemented and used for preventing acute and chronic injuries. A prediction of UV radiation from solar radiation measurement would be a great benefit for such an index.
