Series temporales de medida de radiación solar ultravioleta y fotosintética en Málaga

Prevalence and predictors of sunburn among beachgoers

“…The Costa del Sol is a very popular sun‐and‐sand tourist destination on the southern coast of Spain, in the province of Malaga . The level of solar irradiation is very high in this area, where the UV index can reach 10 or 11 in the summer months . Skin cancer is a significant health problem in the Costa del Sol, and skin cancer prevention campaigns targeting beachgoers have been developed .…”

“…8 The level of solar irradiation is very high in this area, where the UV index can reach 10 or 11 in the summer months. 9 Skin cancer is a significant health problem in the Costa del Sol, 10,11,12 and skin cancer prevention campaigns targeting beachgoers have been developed. 13 The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of sunburn among beachgoers in this area and to identify risk factors that will help to inform future educational interventions.…”

Changes in photoinduced cutaneous erythema with topical application of a combination of vitamins C and E before and after UV exposure

“…Greater attention should therefore be given to improving the photoprotective formulations by adding antioxidant substances to the photoprotective screen. This would represent an advance for the strategies of photoprotection, of special interest in such areas as Spain, where the levels of solar UV radiation are very high [35,36].…”

The Control of a Small Dam in Nutrient Inputs to a Hypertrophic Estuary in a Mediterranean Climate

“…Discharges measured in sites 1 and 2 showed a wide variability, with an alternation of short flooding events and low flow periods with discharges lower than 0.05 m 3 s −1 . During the summer, such low discharges, doses of photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) higher than 14,000 kJ d −1 m −2 (Aguilera et al, 2004) and temperatures up to 25°C promoted an elevated phytoplankton growth. Chl a presented values higher than 10 μg l −1 in sites 2 and 3 (almost reaching a value of 98.2 μg l −1 in site 2) that is often taken to indicate persistent algal blooms and eutrophic level (Iriate & Purdie, 2004).…”
