Title: The Feasibility and Safety of Using Plexiglass in Tanning Beds Abstract: This research paper examines the feasibility and safety of using plexiglass in tanning beds. Tanning beds are popular devices used to achieve a tan artificially, but concerns regarding potential health risks associated with UV exposure have arisen. Plexiglass, a transparent thermoplastic material, has gained popularity due to its versatility and impact resistance. This study explores the properties of plexiglass, evaluates its suitability for tanning beds, and analyzes potential advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, it addresses safety considerations and discusses recommendations for the use of plexiglass in tanning bed construction.
