How to protect yourself from Ultraviolet radiation

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a form of non-ionizing radiation that is emitted by the sun and artificial sources, such as tanning beds.

While it has some benefits for people, including the creation of Vitamin D, it also can cause health risks.

UV radiation covers the wavelength range of 100–400 nm, which is a higher frequency and lower wavelength than visible light.

 Sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer are all risks to overexposure. Keeping you and others protected from UV radiation is an important, year-round responsibility.
