Abstract

The data concerning UV-effects on the human body and the environment are reviewed as applied to long-term flights. It is concluded that UV-radiation can be used in long-term space flights in view of its vitamin-forming, desensitizing, bactericidal, and supporting properties to improve the environment and to prevent adverse effects of space flight factors.
