This document discusses ultraviolet radiation from the sun and provides guidelines for protecting yourself. It explains that UV rays come in three types, with UVA and UVB causing skin damage and sunburn. Exposure can lead to eye damage, skin damage like wrinkles and skin cancer. It recommends wearing sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, protective clothing, sunglasses, and seeking shade. Reapply sunscreen every two hours and after swimming. Dark, tightly woven fabrics and hats provide good sun protection.
Ultraviolet (UV) rays are an invisible form
of radiation. They can penetrate your skin and damage your skin cells. Sunburns
are a sign of skin damage. Suntans aren't healthy, either. They appear after
the sun's rays have already killed some cells and damaged others. UV rays can
cause skin damage during any season or at any temperature. They can also cause
eye problems, wrinkles, skin spots, and skin cancer.
To protect yourself:
-- Stay out of the sun when it is strongest
(between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.)
-- Use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher
-- Wear protective clothing
-- Wear wraparound sunglasses that provide 100
percent UV ray protection
-- Avoid sunlamps and tanning beds
Check your skin regularly for changes in
the size, shape, color or feel of birthmarks, moles and spots. Such changes are
a sign of skin cancer.

Whether it is sunny, cloudy, or rainy, any time spent outdoors leaves your delicate skin vulnerable to sun damage. You may be spending a hot summer day at a local resort or simply sitting outside during your lunch break; it is vital to protect your skin with the right sun protection options.
We’ve heard the importance of applying sunscreen since childhood, but how does sunscreen work to protect our skin?
Natural sunlight contains, among other things, UV photons. These photons are shorter in wavelength and higher in energy than visible light. Because they fall outside the visible spectrum, the human eye cannot perceive them. When it comes to sunlight, what you can’t see will hurt you. When these high-energy photons strike your skin, they generate free radicals and can also directly damage your DNA. Over the short term, this UV-induced damage can produce a painful burn. Over the long term, it causes premature aging of the skin and new skin cancer cases each year.
is essential for life on Earth.
It helps plants to grow, and provides warm and light.
Sunlight also helps people to be happy and healthy
produces light and warmth but also Ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation cannot be seen or felt.
It is UV radiation, not the warmth or brightness of the sun that causes changes to skin color, damage to eyes, and other bad health effects.
Sunglasses how to choose the best lensesOliviaDunn9
Sunglasses are not only an indispensable summer fashion accessory, but they are also essential for protecting your eyes from the harmful sun rays.
Especially in summer, when the opportunities to spend a very long time outdoors are greater and exposure to reflective surfaces (beaches, sea or meadows) is more likely, the eyes are strongly stressed and need special attention, like the skin in the sun.
Considering the hot weather in Poland and other countries, we would like to draw your attention to the harmful effects of solar radiation. Enjoy the sun but don't forget about protection!
Photoprotection of Skin against Ultraviolet Radiations by SunscreenBRNSS Publication Hub
Nowadays, cosmetic products represent the most important market sector for producers after food. Consumers are in regular demand of products for beauty, antiaging, wellness, skin care and sunscreen. Sunscreen help to guard skin from UV rays, either chemically or physically. UV rays are generally consists of three forms UVA, UVB and UVC, and excessive exposure of these radiation may lead to pigment changes, pre-cancerous, cancerous skin, wrinkles and skin aging, along with activating other adverse light sensitive reactions based on disease aetiology and skin prototypes. The possible pathological changes due to use of sunscreen has been reviewed during the exposure to the UV rays. It is vital to protect skin and eyes from damaging effects as the skin is an important part of our immune system. Moreover, artificial sources of UV rays should be eluded including tanning beds and sunlamps without use of sunscreen. Surfaces such as snow,sand, concrete and water can reflect up to 80% of UV radiation, when around these surfaces, even when cloud weather because it filters less than 40 % of UV radiation, sun screen should be applied. The used sunscreen products should contain SPF of at least 15 and it is advisable to have enough beta carotene and antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and Selenium when heavily exposed to sun radiation. In this review it is tried to summarize all possible issues related to sunscreens.

4. Ultraviolet Radiation - UV The sun is the energy source that sustains all life on earth. Ultraviolet Radiation (UV) is simply one form of energy coming from the sun.
6. Ultraviolet Radiation - UV UVA—causes skin aging & wrinkles. Used in tanning beds. Colors skin and gives false sense of protection from the sun. UVA rays pass effortlessly through the ozone layer.
7. Ultraviolet Radiation - UV UVB—causes sunburns, cataracts, immune system damage, skin cancer. Melanoma may be associated with severe UVB sunburns occurring before the age of 20. Most UVB rays are absorbed by the ozone layer.
8. Ultraviolet Radiation - UV UVC—these rays are the most dangerous. Fortunately, these rays are blocked by the ozone layer and don’t reach the earth.
9. Ultraviolet Radiation - UV Even on cloudy, cool, or overcast days, UV rays travel through the clouds and reflect off sand, water, snow, and even concrete. Clouds and pollution don’t filter out UV rays, and can give a false sense of protection. This “invisible sun” can cause unexpected sunburn and skin damage.
10. Ultraviolet Radiation - UV The sun’s light is strongest when it is highest in the sky (normally from 10 AM to 4 PM). UV rays are strongest during the summer. UV intensity is greater at high altitudes. Skiers need to take extra care.
11. Ultraviolet Radiation - UV The UV Index* predicts the next day’s UV levels on a 0-10+ scale. *Developed by the National Weather Service and the EPA.
14. Effects of UV Exposure Sunburn develops when the amount of UV exposure is greater than the protection your skin’s melanin can provide. The lighter your skin, the less melanin it has to absorb UV and protect itself. All skin, no matter the color, thickens and hardens with continued sun exposure, resulting in wrinkles later in life.
16. Effects of UV Exposure Spending long hours in the sun with no eye protection may increase your chance of developing cataracts. Even low amounts of sunlight can increase the risk of eye disorders. UVB damage to the eyes is cumulative, so it is never too late to start protecting your eyes.
18. Effects of UV Exposure There are about 1.3 million new cases of skin cancer in the U.S. each year, resulting in about 9,800 deaths. Melanoma is one type of skin cancer. It is the most common cancer among women between the ages of 25 and 29.
19. Effects of UV Exposure Skin cancer is the most common of cancers and is largely preventable. Increased outdoor leisure time, less clothing worn outdoors, and decreased ozone levels are partly to blame.
20. Effects of UV Exposure Compare the underside of your arm to the topside of your arm to see the effect of sun exposure on your skin. “Sun damage” causes wrinkles, easy bruising, brown “liver” spots, and potentially, skin cancer.
21. Effects of UV Exposure Scientists believe sunburns can alter the body’s immune system for up to 24 hours after exposure to the sun. Repeated overexposure to UV radiation can cause more damage to the body’s immune system, even in people with dark skin.
23. Guidelines for Protection Sunglasses offer excellent protection. Make sure the lenses are designed to block out 95% of UV. Polarizing lenses and mirror finishes reduce glare, but have little effect in blocking the absorption of UV rays.
25. Guidelines for Protection Sunscreen doesn’t offer 100% protection. SPF 30+ sunscreen blocks 96% of UV; SPF 15+ blocks out 93%. In addition to sunscreen, wear a hat, sunglasses, more clothing, and seek shade.
26. Guidelines for Protection Using SPF 30+ instead of SPF 15+ does not mean you can safely double your time in the sun. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside. Don’t rub it in—a light film should stay visible.
27. Guidelines for Protection Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours if you are swimming or sweating a lot. Fragrances and moisturizers in sunscreen may cause allergic reaction; experiment with other brands if this is a problem.
29. Guidelines for Protection Choose clothes that cover your arms, legs and neck to ensure proper protection. You won’t get too hot or uncomfortable in lightweight fabrics like cotton, hemp or linen.
30. Guidelines for Protection Most cotton and cotton/polyester fabrics protect against 95% of UV, but are less effective if wet, faded, or aged. Dark colors are better at absorbing UV than light colors. If you choose to wear light colors, make sure the fabric is a tight weave, such as canvas.
