The skin is the main barrier that protects us against environmental stressors (physical, chemical and biological). These stressors, combined with internal factors, are responsible for cutaneous aging throughout life. Furthermore, they also negatively impact represent an increased risk of diseases, particularly cancer. This review addresses on aging, especially those related to general specific external factors (lifestyles, occupations, pollutants light exposure). More specifically, we have evaluated ambient air pollution, household from non-combustion sources, exposure (UV radiation, blue red light). We approach molecular pathways involved in pathology, as a result these stressors. Finally, make reflection how several components stress can interact ultraviolet radiation cause cell damage critical importance knowing mechanisms develop new therapies maintain without old age repair diseases skin.

The interactive effects between stratospheric ozone layer, solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, climate change are presented within framework Montreal Protocol Sustainable Development Goals. We address how these global environmental changes affect atmosphere air quality; human health; terrestrial aquatic ecosystems; biogeochemical cycles; materials used in outdoor construction, energy technologies, fabrics. In many cases, there is a growing influence from seasonality extreme events due to change.
