Description

There is significant health and ecological concern regarding any high level of Ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation reaching the Earth's surface in any particular location. Excessive exposure to UVB can cause skin cancer in humans and has adverse effects on the ecosystem via damages at the molecular (DNA) level. The present study uses statistical methods to analyze UVB data from the Edmonton UVB observation station, located at Stony Plain. The objective is to determine any trend in the UVB data and to compare that with observed variation in atmospheric ozone.
