    Variations in total ozone column and biologically effective solar UV exposure doses in Bologna, Italy during the period 2005–2010

    Variations in total ozone column and sun exposures able to cause erythema and damage the DNA molecules were observed by the narrow-band filter radiometer UV-RAD in Bologna, Italy from 2005 to 2010. The ozone c...
