This document discusses ultraviolet (UV) radiation, its effects on human health, and photoprotection. It covers:
- The history and classification of UV radiation into UVA, UVB, and UVC wavelengths.
- How UV radiation contributes to DNA damage and skin cancers like melanoma and basal cell carcinoma.
- Factors that influence UV exposure levels like latitude, altitude, season, time of day.
- The importance of photoprotection through proper sunscreen use and protective clothing. Sunscreens work by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering UV rays.

41. Sunscreens are photochemical systems that
absorb or reflect UV radiation.
Frequently use of sunscreens is the best
photoprotection strategy.
The first sunscreen was marketed in 1930
Actually there are 28 chemical filters in
Australia, 26 in Europe and 14 in USA.
