| Abstract: | This review presents troposphere ozone (O3) as a source of
oxidative stress in cutaneous tissues. O3 may cause a disturbance
of the barrier function, increase transepidermal water
loss and provoke epidermal repair responses, as can be also seen after barrier
perturbation. Depletion of O3 at stratospheric
level leads to an increased exposure to UV radiation, well known source of skin
cancer. Increased level of O3 at the ground
level, together with increased UV exposure as a consequence of O3 depletion in
stratosphere can have an
additive effect on the development of skin pathologies. |
