Best Answer

Yes, a large percentage of UV can pass through thin window glass. Glass can be designed via its thickness and chemical makeup to restrict UV penetration.

Can UVR go through glass or water or walls?

UVR is not able to penetrate opaque surfaces like walls, however, certain surfaces such as glass may allow UV radiation to penetrate depending on how the glass has been treated. Water allows UV to pass through but only to a certain depth where it will get absorbed in within the water molecules.

Can you be exposed to UV ray inside of a building through windows?

Yes and no, it mostly depends on the type of glass. Generally I'd say no for the most part; considering when you get transistion lenses (reactive to UV) they don't tend to turn even the slightest black when inside a car or in a building; even when directly exposed to light. But I don't doubt there are certain types of glass (or glass thicknesses) that would permit the rays to pass through.
