With
the breakdown of the ozone layer, more and more scientists and healthcare
professionals are warning of the dangers of UV radiation. You've
heard for years that, before going out into the sun, you should
apply sunscreen, wear sunglasses and a hat (especially between the
hours of 10 to 3 in the afternoon) to reduce your risk of developing
sunburn, wrinkles and premature aging of the skin, skin cancers,
and eye damage. What most people don't realize is you can be at
risk even in your own car or home since glass does not screen UVA
rays which makes up over 90% of the UV that reaches the Earth's
surface.

"One
in five Americans will develop skin cancer within their lifetime."
- US Department of Health and Human Services, CDC and Prevention
"Skin Cancer is the fastest growing cancer in the world."
- The Skin Cancer Foundation
"Chronic exposure to ultraviolet radiation has been linked
to the development of cataracts and age related macular degeneration.
And just because you're indoors or in your car does not mean you're
fully protected. Ultraviolet light is still transmitted through
glass."
- Dr. Douglas F. Liva, Opthalmologist and Member of the American
Academy of Opthalmology
"Excessive, prolonged UV exposure may be linked to the development
of eye conditions such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration."
- American Academy of Opthalmology
"Statistics show that American drivers develop skin cancer
more frequently on their left side while Australian drivers suffer
from cancers of the skin on their right side."
- Dr. Albert Kligman, M.D., Ph.D., Dermatologist (Father of Retin
A)
The facts don't lie. Skin cancer is the most common and rapidly
growing form of cancer in the United States, striking one in five
Americans. Doctors say you need to go on the defensive "outside
" and "inside " to make sure you don't get burned.
