Photobiological effects of solar ultraviolet radiation and their modification by climate change

• Long-term monitoring of biologically effective solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation (sunburn, DNA damage, ...)
• Influence of solar UV radiation on skin (pigmentation, skin aging, sunburn, skin cancer, vitamin D,....)
• Methods of sun protection in animals and humans
• Influence of solar UV radiation on airborne pathogens (corona viruses,...) and their propagation
• Vision in the UV range (birds,....)

Photobiological effects of artificial ultraviolet radiation in consideration of increasing environmental pollution and resource scarcity

• Disinfection of drinking, re-use, ballast, pool and waste water by UV radiation
• Influence of artificial UV radiation on waterborne pathogens (cholera, EHEC, ...)
• Energy efficiency of UV disinfection systems
• Energy efficiency of UV lamps
