The first that come to mind are sunburn, skin cancer, increased risk of herpes/cold sore outbreaks
Both a tan and a burn result from exposure to ultraviolet light.
A number of problems may arise due to long exposure to ultraviolet radiations. Some of them are eye cataract and skin cancer.
Radiation symptoms, such as acute radiation syndrome (ARS), can result from a single high-dose exposure to ionizing radiation, affecting the body’s cells and tissues. However, these symptoms are not contagious; they do not spread from person to person like an infectious disease. Instead, they are a direct consequence of the exposure and its effects on biological systems. Contagion can only occur with biological agents, not with radiation exposure.
Exposure to high energy electromagnetic radiation, such as ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, can damage the DNA in our cells. This damage can lead to mutations that may result in cancer, affect reproductive cells causing sterility, or cause acute effects such as radiation sickness or death. Protection measures and safe practices are crucial when dealing with high energy radiation to minimize these risks.
The sun... also Ultraviolet Rays
While radiation symptoms can occur from a single, prolonged, exposure, the symptoms of radiation are not contagious.
A person's chances of getting skin cancer can increase as a result of exposure to the sun due to the ultraviolet rays of the sun damaging the genetic material in the person's skin cells.
Cataracts can also result from exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.
The excess exposure and ultraviolet light dosage can and will result in damage to human tissues. Two forms of damage include burns and inducing cancer causing mutations.
False.NO
It is suspected that this damage induces mutations that result in the development of malignant melanoma.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is a type of electromagnetic radiation that can damage the skin's DNA. When skin is exposed to UV rays, particularly UVB rays, it triggers an inflammatory response, leading to sunburn. This damage can result in redness, pain, and peeling of the skin as the body attempts to heal. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation also increases the risk of skin cancer over time.
