Ultraviolet (UV) rays can destroy genetic material in cells, like DNA and RNA, which can lead to cell death or mutation. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer. UV rays can also break down certain materials, like plastics and fabrics, causing them to degrade over time.
