Ultra Violet Light can cause a large number of health problems. Some effects as stated:
Skin cell damage
skin cancer (Keeping in mind the most deadly form, malignant melanoma, doesn't bear signs of UVB radiation mutation 92% of the time, suggesting this from of cancer isn't' caused by ultra violet light)
Cataracts in the Eye
Pterygium and Pinquecula formation in the eye
Flash blindness (Sudden, high doses causing temporary blindness)
UVA / UVB radiation can also cause degradation and damage to polymers, fabrics, and dyes. Excessive exposure can cause bleaching to some surfaces and substances (Such as your hair!)
What else can I help you with?
Where are ultra violet waves found?
Among other things, the light we get from the Sun includes ultraviolet light.
Is ultra violet hyphenated?
Yes, "ultra-violet" is typically hyphenated when used as an adjective before a noun.
Does ultraviolet radiation have longer wavelengths then violet light?
No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths than violet light. Violet light is at the end of the visible light spectrum with longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet radiation, which falls just beyond the violet end of the spectrum.
In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does 230 nm of light lie?
230 nm of light lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
When was ultra violet light first used by the police?
Ultra violet light, also known as UV light, was first used by the police as a forensic tool in the early 20th century. It became popular in the 1930s for detecting trace evidence at crime scenes, such as fingerprints and bodily fluids invisible to the naked eye. UV light continues to be an essential tool in modern forensic investigations.

What are the differences between ultraviolet light and visible light?
ultra violet is stronger
Does ultra violet light have a lower or higher wavelength then visible light?

Does ultra-violet light have longer wave-length than visible light?
No.
What is UV waves?
UV stands for "ultra violet" and consists of light frequencies higher in value than violet light.
