The vitamin D debate: translating controlled experiments into reality for human sun exposure timesAnn R Webb
School of Earth Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK
Photochem Photobiol 87:741-5. 2011..While both sun exposure conditions and human skin responses are variable in real life, these quantitative findings provide a guide for authorities devising sunlight exposure recommendations...
Calculated ultraviolet exposure levels for a healthy vitamin D statusAnn R Webb
School of Earth Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, United Kingdom
Photochem Photobiol 82:1697-703. 2006..For low solar elevation angles common at high latitudes, a fine line exists between adequate UV exposure for vitamin D3 synthesis and a risk of sun burn...
Ultraviolet exposure scenarios: risks of erythema from recommendations on cutaneous vitamin D synthesisAnn R Webb
Centre for Atmospheric Sciences, School of Earth Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, Simon Building, Brunswick Street, Manchester M13 9PL, UK
Adv Exp Med Biol 624:72-85. 2008..When the only variable considered was skin type, latitudinal and seasonal limits on adequate vitamin D production were more restrictive for skin type 5 than skin type 2...
Know your standard: clarifying the CIE erythema action spectrumAnn R Webb
School of Earth Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK
Photochem Photobiol 87:483-6. 2011..Here we detail the differences in the different versions of erythema action spectra, illustrate the resulting effects in quantifying UV doses and encourage readers to use only the standard version of the action spectrum in the future...
The role of sunlight exposure in determining the vitamin D status of the U.K. white adult populationA R Webb
School of Earth Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL, UK
Br J Dermatol 163:1050-5. 2010..Opinions are divided on whether the proposed optimal circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level (≥ 32 ng mL⁻¹) is an appropriate and feasible target at population level...
Recommended summer sunlight exposure levels can produce sufficient (> or =20 ng ml(-1)) but not the proposed optimal (> or =32 ng ml(-1)) 25(OH)D levels at UK latitudesLesley E Rhodes
Photobiology Unit, Dermatological Sciences, School of Translational Medicine, University of Manchester, Manchester Academic Health Science Centre, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Hospital, Manchester, UK
J Invest Dermatol 130:1411-8. 2010....
Recommended summer sunlight exposure amounts fail to produce sufficient vitamin D status in UK adults of South Asian originMark D Farrar
Dermatological Sciences, Inflammation Sciences Research Group, School of Translational Medicine, University of Manchester, United Kingdom
Am J Clin Nutr 94:1219-24. 2011..The national guidance provided on amounts of sunlight exposure in the United Kingdom is for the light-skinned population, and in the absence of dedicated information, darker-skinned people may attempt to follow this guidance...
Who, what, where and when-influences on cutaneous vitamin D synthesisAnn R Webb
University of Manchester, UK
Prog Biophys Mol Biol 92:17-25. 2006..At smaller SZAs assessment of solar exposure necessary for vitamin D synthesis can only be indicative and application of any such assessment necessarily requires awareness of both self- and the local environment...
Potential of wind turbines to elicit seizures under various meteorological conditionsAndrew R D Smedley
School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom
Epilepsia 51:1146-51. 2010..To determine the potential risk of epileptic seizures from wind turbine shadow flicker under various meteorologic conditions...
Seasonal and latitudinal impact of polymorphic light eruption on quality of lifeTsui C Ling
