To much UV radiation can cause skin cancer. Especially Albinos, White people and people with natural red hair are at risk due to their lack of pigmentation in the skin.

To much UV radiation is bad for everybody. It is individual though. Some people can stand a lot with no adverse effect. Other people get skin cancer by watching other people go to a solarium (Not entirely true but exaggeration enhances understanding). :-)
