Why UV so Dangerous?
UV radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun and tanning beds. Overexposure to UV radiation can lead to health problems such as skin cancer and premature aging. It is classified into three types: UVA, UVB, and UVC, with UVA radiation causing long-term damage and UVB radiation causing sunburn and skin cancer. UVC radiation is mostly absorbed by the atmosphere and does not reach the skin. The harmful effects of UV radiation are caused by its ability to damage DNA in skin cells.
