Ultra violet radiation

How to stop ultra violet radiation


The most common effect of ultra violet
radiation is sunburns. This occurs when
there is a large amount of UV, and the
melanin (layer which protects skin from
UV) cannot protect itself. This causes it to
burn. The lighter your skin is, the easier it
is to burn because there is less melanin to
protect it. The skin can peal or sting
largely.

Wrinkling can happen to many people
because of UV radiation. Epidermis (the
outer layer of skin) thickens, becoming
leathery and wrinkles. It is what mostly
causes cosmetics skin problems.

Effects of ultra violet radiation

The most server effect is skin
cancer. Skin cancer starts of looking
like a mole on your skin, but
beneath the layers it can spread
towards your vessel, which causes it
to spread throughout your body to
other parts like your lung. If not
treated quickly it can cause death.
When they have found skin cancer
skills they cut the mole and a large
amount of skin around it to make
sure it was defiantly gone. There are
three major types of skin cancer:
basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell
carcinoma, and melanoma. More
than 43,200 people died of cancer in
2011, and the numbers are rising.

Without eye protection you can be
given many different eye diseases. For
example cataract which causes you to
become blind or have cloudy vision.
Another eye disease is snow blindness
or photokeratitis. This is burning or
pain along the top layer of the eye. It
slowly goes away but can cause vision
damage in the future.
