— In both mice and men the effects of repeated exposures to UVR accumulate. Unresolvable uncertainty pertains in both cases. Incidence of skin cancer in human populations may be influenced by various factors that cannot be separately evaluated. Uncertainty of predictions regarding the effect of increased UVR due to diminution of stratospheric ozone cover is discussed.
