UV Radiation and Skin Damage
UV radiation can be categorized according to its physiological effect on the skin, and the depth of skin penetration.
- UVAI (340-400nm) can cause tanning, has minimal erythemal effect, penetrates deeply and can cause long-term damage
- UVAII (320-340nm) has a slight erythemal effect
- UVB (290-320nm) causes sunburn, and contributes significantly to skin cancer development
- UVC (200-290nm) is very energetic radiation which is absorbed by the ozone layer
In simple terms, solar radiation penetrates the skin and can cause sunburn, long-term skin damage, and skin cancer.
