Research on diarrhoea received less than US$ 10 per disability adjustedlifeyear (DALY), while conditions like diabetes type 2 - another serious condition- received US$ 102 per DALY.
The researchers then ranked the sites and problems by " disability life-adjustedyear, " or DALY, which measures both early death and the impact of pollution-related disease.
In total, more than 1.5 million DALYS (" disability-adjustedlife years ") - a measure of the loss of full functioning due to disease and death are lost every year due to excessive UVR exposure.
