Yolanda Sola, PhD
In this video, Yolanda Sola PhD, introduces us to the concept of the ultraviolet (UV) index and its importance. She describes how the UV index is used to report UV radiation levels on the Earth's surface and how it helps the population take preventive measures. She also addresses the global standardization of the UV index, its calculation, and the need to adjust our protective measures according to the index values. Finally, she offers practical recommendations on how to protect ourselves from solar radiation, depending on the UV levels.
