| Description: |
A distinct increase in skin cancer incidences is observed in Norway. As UV radiation is assumed to be the main risk factor for skin cancer, hourly values of the UV irradiance were reconstructed for the period 1957-2005 for 17 of the Norwegian counties (58-70°N). Both the cancer incidences and the reconstructed UV values have a distinct north-south increase. [Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology]
