Artificial UV = skin cancer
The suspects long to be carcinogenic , experts have finally decided on artificial UV . The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) issued a report showing that UVA is just as dangerous as UVB , and also the effects of these two types of UV radiation are cumulative. This information is very important because until now it was considered less dangerous than UVA and UVB , which legitimized the tanning lamps which deliver only UVA! Other essential data contained in this report: exposure to artificial UV radiation before age 30 increases by 75% the risk of melanoma, skin cancer the most formidable.It is no longer possible to maintain the artificial UV in the category of "probably carcinogenic to humans "(group 2). Thus, the WHO officially announced their passage in group 1, namely " carcinogenic to humans ". It must be said that the situation was more than paradoxical:
- one hand the government conduct an annual prevention campaign among the general public to encourage them to avoid sun exposure and sunburn to prevent skin cancer;
- another, UV booths continue to grow to great fanfare.
