UVA and UVB rays – are the most harmful substances, of which 95% are UVA rays and 5% are UVB rays. UVB rays often affect the outer layer of the skin, damaging the skin. UVB rays cannot pass through glass windows, but are strongly reflected from snow, water surface, asphalt, causing burns … It can lead to some types of skin cancers such as melanoma, carcinoma. basal and squamous tissue. UVA rays are much less intense than UVB rays but reach the deeper layers of the skin about 50 times and cause more damage than UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate thin materials such as windows, clothes, clouds … so even if it’s shady, or cloaked in sun-protective clothing, our skin is still heavily affected. This ray does not cause immediate blackening of the skin like UVB, but causes skin aging and immunodeficiency, it also affects the basal cell layer of the epidermis, where most skin cancers arise. Although the acute effects of UV are usually short and reversible. But the long-term effects of UV rays are much more serious and dangerous, which can be life-threatening, including aging of the skin, suppression of the immune system, eye damage and skin cancer.
