Linked from

The 75 pages that link to Ultraviolet, each with the reason it gives.

• IARC Group 1Broader topic: Solar and artificial ultraviolet radiation are classified as carcinogenic to humans.

• Ultraviolet-BNarrower topic: Ultraviolet-B is one band within this broader region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

• LightCompared with: It is adjacent to visible light but is generally not seen by humans.

• Lyman SpitzerRelated: Its absorption by the atmosphere makes space-based observation essential for ultraviolet astronomy.

• Plasma displayRelated: The cell discharge produces ultraviolet light that excites the screen’s phosphors.

• Sun protectionNarrower topic: It is the main part of sunlight that sun-protection measures are designed to limit.

• Aziz SancarRelated: It produces DNA lesions whose repair mechanisms formed a central part of Sancar’s research.

• MelasmaRelated: Sun exposure can stimulate pigment production and worsen melasma.

• MutagenBroader topic: UV exposure can create pyrimidine dimers that cause mutations if unrepaired.

• SunlightBroader topic: It is an energetic, invisible component of sunlight with distinctive biological effects.

• Cockayne syndromeRelated: Ultraviolet-induced lesions expose the repair defect and contribute to photosensitivity.

• DihydroxyacetoneCompared with: Dihydroxyacetone darkens skin without the ultraviolet exposure used in conventional tanning.

• Point mutationRelated: UV-induced lesions can cause characteristic substitutions during DNA replication.

• ErgocalciferolRelated: Ultraviolet exposure drives the photochemical conversion of ergosterol into vitamin D₂.

• Fused quartzRelated: Fused quartz can transmit ultraviolet wavelengths that ordinary glass strongly absorbs.

• Human skin colorRelated: Exposure stimulates pigmentation and also creates evolutionary pressures on skin.

• QuercetinRelated: Quercetin absorbs ultraviolet light and can help protect plant tissues from it.

• Niels Ryberg FinsenNarrower topic: Finsen investigated ultraviolet rays as active components of therapeutic light.

• 4-Aminobenzoic acidRelated: PABA absorbs ultraviolet wavelengths, a property exploited in early sunscreens.

• GogglesRelated: Some goggle lenses filter ultraviolet radiation that can damage the eyes.

• Human hair colorRelated: Sun exposure can lighten hair by degrading pigments after the hair emerges from the follicle.

• Johann Wilhelm RitterBroader topic: Ritter’s experiment revealed this invisible region of the spectrum.

• PogonaRelated: UVB exposure supports vitamin D production and calcium metabolism in captive bearded dragons.

• Solar activity and climateRelated: Solar ultraviolet varies more proportionally than total output and changes stratospheric ozone.

• TugtupiteRelated: Ultraviolet light can reveal tugtupite’s fluorescence and induce color changes.
