Climate change and skin cancer Climate change and skin cancer Jan C. van der Leun a and Frank R. de Gruijl b a Ecofys, Kanaalweg 16 G, NL-3526 KL Utrecht, The Netherlands b Dermatology, Leiden University Medical Center, Sylvius Laboratories, Wassenaarseweg 72, NL-2333 Leiden, The Netherlands Received 28th January 2002, Accepted 16th April 2002 First published as an Advance Article on the web 7th May 2002 Depletion of the ozone layer and climate change by the increasing greenhouse e ect are distinctly dierent processes. It is becoming quite clear, however, that the two global environmental problems are interlinked in several ways D. L. Albritton, P. J. Aucamp, G. Mgie, R. T. Watson, Scienti c Assessment of Ozone Depletion, 1998, World Meteorological Organization, Global Ozone Research and Monitoring Project, Report No. 44 (WMO, Geneva, 1998) . In the present analysis we deal with the possibility of such an interlinkage within one e ect on human health, namely, skin cancer. The increase in the incidence of skin cancer is one of the most extensively studied e ects of increasing ultraviolet radiation by ozone depletion (F. R. de Gruijl, Skin cancer and solar radiation, Eur. J. Cancer, 1999, 35, 20032009). We wondered if this impact could also be in uenced by increasing environmental temperatures. Here we show that it is likely that such an in uence will occur. For the same reason, it is likely that the baseline incidence of skin cancer will be augmented by rising ...
