Well some long term effects are damaged eyes and of course skin cancer which can be fatal if you don't take care of your skin.
Short term effects can be rashes, itchiness, dryness and sunburn.
Haha
Sun burns are short-term effects. Cancer of the skin could be long-term effects.
Exposure to UV-C light can be harmful to the skin and eyes in just a minute. Prolonged exposure can cause skin burns, eye irritation, and potential long-term damage. It is important to use protective gear and follow safety guidelines when working with UV-C light.
The aging effects of UV were not a hot topic earlier. With the ozone hole, it came into focus.
The sources of exposure to UV radiations are many. Skin is the main entrance for UV.
The sun's primary danger to us comes in the form of UV light or radiation. UV radiation is a component of solar radiation. Artificial sources like welding machines, tanning beds, and lasers can also give off UV radiation. There are three types of UV radiation. UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not present any threat. UV-A and UV-B radiation can have adverse long- and short-term effects on the eyes and vision. Both long- and short-term exposure to UV radiation can harm the eyes, affect vision, and compromise overall eye health. There are several eye diseases and conditions caused or aggravated by exposure to UV radiation: Macular Degeneration. Cataracts.. Pterygium. Often called "surfer's eye." Skin Cancer. Skin cancer in and around the eyelids is also linked to prolonged UV exposure. Photokeratitis. Also known as corneal sunburn or "snow blindness."
Cataract.
A UV stabilizer helps extend the lifespan of a material by preventing UV-induced degradation, while a UV absorber absorbs UV radiation and converts it into harmless heat, reducing the material's exposure to UV rays. Stabilizers work over the long term to maintain material integrity, while absorbers provide short-term protection by dissipating UV energy.
Exposure to purple UV light can cause damage to human skin, including sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer. It is important to protect your skin from UV light by using sunscreen and wearing protective clothing.
The UV light from the sun damages the cell and as a person ages the cell gets weaker and causes skin cancer. Because of the thinness of the ozone layer more UV light is hitting the earth. The same UV light is used in tanning beds so those are also dangerous.
Too much UV radiation harms the skin cells. Long term exposure over the years can cause wrinkling, discoloration, freckling, and skin cancer.
