INTRODUCTION
The Sun is very magical yet dangerous. Sunburn can form on your body in a matter of hours depending on how sensitive your skin is. More and more individuals are getting sunburn and skin cancer due to their naive decisions of tanning in the sun and lack of sun protection. Our school should be awarded a grant to promote a sun safety program and construct a reasonable and durable shade structure. A healthy and well-being is what we want and this is an excellent way to do that.
UV Rays
The Sun is a very nasty monster that can cause catastrophic damage to our skin. The most damage, of course, comes from the ultraviolet radiation from the sun’s rays. Ultraviolet is an electromagnetic radiation and is present in sunlight constituting about 10% of the total light output of the Sun. Even though UV rays make up only a very small portion of the sun’s rays, they are the main cause of the sun’s damaging effects on the skin. UV rays damage the DNA of skin cells. Skin cancers start when this damage affects the DNA of genes that control skin cell growth. There are 3 main types of UV rays: …show more content…
These rays are linked to long-term skin damage such as wrinkles, but they are also thought to play a role in some skin cancers. Most tanning beds give off large amounts of UVA, which has been found to increase skin cancer risk.
UVB rays have slightly more energy than UVA rays. They can damage skin cells’ DNA directly, and are the main rays that cause sunburns. They are also thought to cause most skin
