Environmental Effects of Ozone Depletion: 1998 UNEP Assessment - The assessment presented in this special issue of Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology (pdf format) deals with environmental effects of ozone depletion. It was produced originally in a limited edition for governments (HTML format), via the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The assessment is given in seven papers as follows: changes in ultraviolet radiation, effects on human and animal health, effects on aquatic ecosystems, effects on biogeochemical cycles, effects on air quality, and effects on materials.
