“…In Africa, Black individuals with dark skin can experience adverse health effects from excess solar UVR exposure, including sunburn and some skin cancers – although not all such lesions are associated with sun exposure. These effects are influenced by the degree of natural pigmentation, which can be wide ranging . Despite this evidence, sun protection advice is generally limited to high‐risk subpopulations, for example, those with fair skin or oculocutaneous albinism .…”

“…Even for skin cancer, the most well studied of this group, the lack of data from developing countries and dark-skinned populations is seen as a concern (Lucas et al 2006;Wright et al 2012). Notwithstanding that, many important data gaps remain.…”

LCA Compendium – The Complete World of Life Cycle Assessment

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aims and ScopeLife Cycle Assessment (LCA) has become the recognized instrument to assess the ecological burdens and human health impacts connected with the complete life cycle (creation, use, end-of-life) of products, processes and activities, enabling the assessor to model the entire system from which products are derived or in which processes and activities operate. Due to the steady, world-wide growth of the field of LCA, the wealth of information produced in journals, reports, books and electronic media has made it difficult for readers to stay abreast of activity and recent developments in the field. This led to the realization of the need for a comprehensive and authoritative publication.The LCA Compendium Book Series will discuss the main drivers in LCA (SETAC, UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative, etc.), the strengths and limitations of LCA, the LCA phases as defined by ISO standards, specific applications of LCA, Life Cycle Management (LCM) and Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA). Further volumes, which are closely related to these themes will cover examples of exemplary LCA studies ordered according to the importance of the fields of application. They will also present new insights and new developments and will keep the whole work current. The aim of the series is to provide a well-structured treatise of the field of LCA to give orientation and guidance through detailed descriptions on all steps necessary to conduct an LCA study according to the state of the art and in full agreement with the standards.

“…Kerusakan komponen sel kulit menyebabkan kulit kering, keriput dan kusam yang menandai terjadinya penuaan dini (Wilkinson & Moore, 1982). Untuk melindungi bahaya yang disebabkan oleh radiasi matahari pada kulit, salah satunya dapat digunakan kosmetik tabir surya (sunscreen) (Nole dan Johnson, 2004;Adhami et al, 2008;Wright et al, 2012).…”

Sinar matahari memiliki banyak manfaat kesehatan tetapi juga dapat menyebabkan masalah kulit, mulai dari yang ringan hingga berat, untuk mencegah masalah tersebut upaya yang biasa dilakukan dengan memakai tabir surya. Bahan alam yang diketahui berkhasiat sebagai tabir surya alami adalah daun kersen yang memiliki kandungan flavonoid. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakter fisika dan kimia sediaan lotion tabir surya dengan variasi konsentrasi ekstrak etanol daun kersen serta mengetahui nilai SPF sediaan lotion tabir surya dengan variasi konsentrasi ekstrak etanol daun kersen. Daun kersen diekstraksi dengan pelarut etanol 70% dan menggunakan metode maserasi. Pengujian karakteristik dan nilai SPF dilakukan pada 4 formula lotion yang masing-masing mengandung ekstrak konsentrasi 0 gram (Formula 1), 1 gram (Formula 2), 2 gram (Formula 3) dan 3 gram (Formula 4). Keempat formula lotion berwarna putih hingga coklat muda, beraroma khas minyak mawar dan berbentuk semi padat dengan viskositas antara 50-63,33 dPas. Lotion yang dihasilkan memenuhi semua persyaratan fisika dan kimia, serta memiliki nilai SPF berturut-turut 0,62 (tidak efektif); 8,7 (proteksi maksimal); 15,2 (proteksi ultra); 20,8 (proteksi ultra). SPF menunjukkan seberapa kuat tabir surya dapat memberikan perlindungan dari sunburn.
