According to who, every year 60 thousand people die from exposure to high doses of ultraviolet light
This is the sad conclusion came the American and British scientists. According to experts, tanning, and skin cancer occur when DNA damage that occurs due to exposure to UV rays. But many people, especially young people, to ignore this danger in pursuit of a bronze tan. Radiation, which is produced cells when exposed to the sun, apparently, causes damage to DNA, said Dorothy Bennett, a biologist from the University of London.
DNA damage is the first step to mutations in cells that can lead to cancer, for this reason, safe tanning can’t be, said the expert. According to who, every year 60 thousand people die from exposure to high doses of ultraviolet light. Most often, the cause of melanoma — the deadliest form of skin cancer. The relationship between UV and the occurrence of skin cancer has long been known, but a new discovery was the fact that even small doses of ultraviolet light are dangerous.
According to scientists, different messages about the benefits and dangers of tanning confuse and confuse the public. A person needs a small dose of ultraviolet light for the secretion of vitamin D, but it’s much less than what we get at tan. Many young people are not aware about the dangers and dangers related to the sun, said the experts.
