Uvb Radiation

Depletion of stratospheric ozone, the principal atmospheric attenuator of ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation, by man-made chemicals has raised scientific and public concern regarding the biological effects of increased UVB radiation on Earth. There is an increased awareness that existing levels of solar UV radiation have an important influence on biological and chemical processes in aquatic ecosystems. For aquatic organisms, numerous studies have shown direct detrimental effects of UVB radiation at each trophic level. Fortunately, many aquatic organisms also possess a range of photoprotective mechanisms against UV radiation toxicity. In addition to its direct impact, harmful effects of UVB radiation at a single-trophic level can cascade through the food web and indirectly affect organisms from other trophic levels. Because UV radiation photochemically reacts with humic substances and other photosensitive agents in the water, increases in solar UVB can also indirectly affect aquatic organisms through the production and (or) release of different photoproducts like biologically available nutrients and harmful reactive oxygen species. Polar aquatic ecosystems have been of particular concern, since stratospheric ozone-related UVB increases have been the greatest in these regions. With the influences of climate warming and the possibility of future volcanic eruptions, ozone losses are expected to get worse in the Arctic stratosphere, and the ozone layer recovery may not follow the slow decline of industrial ozone-depleting compounds in the atmosphere. Climate warming is also expected to bring important changes in underwater ultraviolet radiation (UVR) penetration in Arctic freshwaters that would be more significant to the aquatic biota than stratospheric ozone depletion.Key words: Arctic, UV radiation, UVB, ozone depletion, climate change, aquatic ecosystems.
