“…Similarly, in Australia, a relationship has been found between temperature, humidity, ambient ultraviolet radiation, and UVR-related diseases such as cancer [ 30 ]. Furthermore, in the tropics, a study has indicated that environmental factors like solar ultraviolet radiation, air pollution, and variations in air temperature and relative humidity impact skin health [ 31 ].…”

Objective:The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of climate change factors on the incidence of skin cancer in Iran. Methods: The statistical population for this study comprises skin cancer patients in Iran. All other data used in this research were extracted from Remote Sensing imagery, including Ultraviolet ray, Relative humidity, Cloud cover, incoming short-wave flux, elevation, and total hours of sunshine. Initially, spatial autocorrelation analysis and cluster patterns were calculated using General G and Moran's I indices. Subsequently, a Geographically Weighted Regression Model was used to establish a regression relationship between the climate change data and the detection and forecasting rate of skin cancer. Finally, the model's accuracy was evaluated by estimating the detection coefficient between the reality map and the forecasting map. Results: The study found that UV radiation and relative humidity exhibit the highest positive and negative correlation, respectively, with the skin cancer rate in Iran. Geostatistical analysis revealed a clustered spatial distribution of skin cancer rates, and the proposed GWR model demonstrated high accuracy in predicting the skin cancer rate. The results indicate the highest positive correlation (+0.51) for UV ray and the most negative correlation (-0.43) for relative humidity. The Geostatistical analysis reveals spatial autocorrelation, cluster patterns, and non-randomness of the data. Conclusion: The detection rate of skin cancer increases from north to south and from west to east.

“…In the context of tropical regions, which characterize most Brazilian territory, UV radiation figures as a relevant research topic (de Paula Corrêa and Pires, 2013). Research projects with mobile field measurements on bicycles were shown for the Brazilian cities of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Recife (PE) with extreme UV levels (de Paula Corrêa et al, 2021). The multidisciplinary approach of the research area was highlighted, with interactions between gathering of environmental data, skin health data, big data, and artificial intelligence for exposome mapping.…”

A current systematic literature review has stated several deficiencies and knowledge gaps in biometeorology research conducted in Brazil. This finding encouraged a group of local professionals in the field to foster research initiatives in topics and regions yet unexplored in the country. Motivated by that, the group organized the first Brazilian Symposium on Human Biometeorology between July 4 and 8, 2022, in Natal (RN), northeastern Brazil. This paper aims to summarize the main studies presented at the symposium and highlight a few ideas that could be pursued next in human biometeorology in future research initiatives.

“…The highlighted factors serve as a connecting pathway for diseases in humans, especially skin cancer, thermal discomfort, and untimely skin aging (Ivanov et al 2018). Sunlight exposure could accelerate skin-related damage regardless of the time or season of the year, especially in the tropics (Correa et al 2021). Skin cancer development is multifactorial (it can be caused by working with chemicals, the human papillomavirus or a weakened immune system).…”

Skin exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation and pollutants causes several skin disorders, calling for protection methods such as sunscreen application. However, common sunscreen contains chemicals that have displayed toxicity when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, alternatives approaches have been recently developed, such as the use of natural phytochemicals as active ingredients in photoprotection preparations. Here, we review skin protection with focus on the physics of ultraviolet radiation and photoprotection by ultraviolet filters. We present sensors for measuring ultraviolet radiation and ultraviolet radiation in ecosystems. We discuss the phototoxicity of drugs, preservatives, personal care products, and pollutants. Photocarcinogenesis, photoallergy, photostability, and toxicity of sunscreen ingredients and their impacts on human health and skin, are also reviewed. We observed that phytochemicals are promising for photoprotection due to their ability to absorb photon energy, and thus act as antioxidants.
