UV radiation risks

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can damage your skin and eyes because it penetrates tissues at a cellular level. Excessive exposure increases the risk of sunburn, skin aging, and skin cancers like melanoma. UV rays can also harm the eyes, leading to cataracts or other eye damage. While some UV exposure is necessary for vitamin D production, overexposure without protection greatly increases health risks. To reduce these dangers, wear sunscreen, protective clothing, and sunglasses, especially during peak sunlight hours. Being mindful of UV levels helps protect your overall health and well-being.
