Ultraviolet Radiation Hazards

[Eric Cowdrey <ericc@mctrf.mb.ca>]

I am interested in knowing if any governments (anywhere in the world),
government agencies, technical associations or any other learned bodies
have published position statements on the potential hazard to humans of
exposure to natural and/or artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation.

I am certainly thinking of statements in the format that might be published
by groups such as the Health Physics Society or ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) concerning radiation
safety related matters, but I don't necessarily want to limit the request
to these types.  More general, or shorter statements, that might guide an
organization's policy on such matters are also of interest.

Thank-you in advance for your assistance.
