Welcome to the seventh edition of the INTARESE Technical Briefs.

One of the most successful international agreements on climate change, the Montreal Protocol, came into force in 1989. This treaty set out to reduce the depletion of the Earth’s ozone layer. The extent to which the treaty will impact on health, however, is unquantified. How will the UV exposurei change in the future and to what extent will that affect the numbers of skin cancers, particularly with a changing and ageing population?

Read about how Dr Maud Huynen and her colleagues have been answering these questions using INTARESE’s integrated assessmenti methodology.

Assessing the impact of the changing climate on our health isn’t possible without first knowing what that changing climate is. Monitoring the environment around us is therefore an important step in accurate health impact assessments.

Read about how a research team led by Dr Jan Duyzer has been supporting INTARESE’s case study teams in estimating exposures and developing new techniques to improve environmental monitoring.

The INTARESE Technical Briefs are a quarterly newsletter that will provide up-to-date information on the activities of the many European scientists who participate in the INTARESE project.
