Indoor tanning is a very controversial practice in today’s mainstream society. There are many people who use them frequently and wouldn’t know what to do without them. Mary Adams conducted a study on the perspectives of collegiate tanners, and 73% of her participants admitted to using tanning beds, even though they believed they were harming their bodies by doing it (Adams). However, there are others who heed the warnings and stay away from the fiery furnaces. Many studies have been done on the…

Research Question The question that we will address is: In what ways and to what extent does Bartonella affect the mechanisms of melanoma growth and metastasis? Introduction and Goals Melanoma is a critical health issue, with nearly 77,000 cases and over 10,000 fatalities expected in the United States this year (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2016). Despite moderate advancements in decreasing the mortality rate and extending the life expectancy for patients with this cancer, the…

I learned quite a lot this week with regards to cancerous melanoma. I found out that tanning beds are quite dangerous to a person's health in that they can cause skin cancer. When a person lays down on a tanning bed they are immersed in ultra-violet radiation from head to toe. A tanning bed session can last anywhere from 15 mins. to 30 mins. which can have a tremendous impact on a person's health. Indoor tanning can cause melanoma which is the deadliest type of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma,…

Abstract: This paper provides a brief summary of existing article Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles with Defects by Vladislav Ischenko,Sebastian Polarz,Dirk Grote,Victorina Sravarache,Karin Fink,and Matthias Driess. This paper discusses the importance of a nanoscale ZnO with defects in its structure. The article also provides a broad analysis of ZnO nanoparticles using a consolidation of techniques and the resulting data is summarised in this review. The paper gives the realization of when a…

Our paper is about sunscreen, oncology, and cancer and how it relates to chemistry. It tells you what sunscreen is, how it affects the body, and what cancer and oncology are. The purpose of this paper is to show what we know and understand about chemistry. We show that we know how chemistry is used in everyday life and how it is in things we use on a daily basis, such as sunscreen. Studies have shown that sunscreen, cancer, and oncology are all related. When using sunscreen daily, you can easily…

What is the Sun? The Sun is this big yellowish reddish orange ball of gas, the Sun too is known as the main source that gives us energy in heat and light. “The Sun is the center of all the planets.” (Cain, par.4) .

the Solar System. This star gives necessities we, the humans living on Earth need such as natural sunlight. Although natural sunlight benefits humans by giving them Vitamin D, this sunlight can also harm humans(1). Natural sunlight contains UV (ultraviolet) rays, an electromagnetic radiation invisible to the human eye. The UV rays that reaches the Earth’s surface consists of UVB rays and UVA rays. The UVA rays can penetrate the deeper layers of a human’s skin, creating groups of free atoms that…

Recently, the release of chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, has caused an increase in the depletion of the ozone which in turn causes an excessive amount of ultraviolet, or UV, radiation to reach the earth. According to “Health and Environmental,” “A 10% reduction in ozone could lead to as much as a 15-20% increase in UV exposure depending on the biological process being considered.” This creates a lot of problems because an increase in UV radiation creates biological effects, or health effects, in a…

The policy’s focus is on prevention by limiting sun exposure in order to limit ultraviolet (UV) radiation and rates of skin cancer (Rhainds and Rosen, 2006). This includes reducing exposure by educating people to understand more about the harmful effects of UV radiation. With policy that focuses on prevention instead of acute care, there will be less cases. Education starts young because long term exposure is harmful and children need to get in the habit for early prevention practices (Rhainds…
