Skin cancer is on the increase, partly because
people are increasingly image-conscious and
like to spend a lot of time in the sun, but also
owing to depletion of the all-important layer of
protection around the world - the ozone layer.
But a good tan looks so wonderfully healthy
that it's difficult to imagine travelling to hot
countries and positively avoiding the sun!
However, sunbathing is a risky business, and
it's worth taking a few precautions to avoid the
effects of the sun.
The sun emits ultraviolet radiation - a kind of light
that is not visible. There are three kinds of ultraviolet
light, each with a different frequency, or "colour". The
first, UVA has a long wavelength, and is least
damaging to us. It does cause some damage in the
long term, but it tends to give us a nice tan first! UVB
& UVC have shorter wavelengths and tend to burn us
rather than give a tan. Fortunately for us, UVC, the
most damaging of the two types, is completely
filtered out by the planet's ozone layer. This is why it
is so important to preserve the ozone layer, as even
small doses of UVC are damaging to humans and
many other significant life forms.
The short-term effects of excessive
sun are serious enough by
themselves. Of course, spending time
in hot countries generally increases
your likelihood of becoming
dehydrated - a potentially serious
condition - but direct sunshine can
be much more dangerous.
The sun can be harmful very
rapidly in some places. A hot
summer sun in relatively
northern climes is safe only
for up to 40 minutes, and
hotter areas of the world are,
of course, much less safe.
The sun affects some people more than
others. In particular, those with fair or
freckled skin (and usually blonde or red
hair). People with dark hair and dark skin
are less likely to suffer from sunburn. People
with black skin are likely to be not affected
by the sun, and yellow and brown-skinned
people are much less likely to suffer than
white-skinned people. All colors of skin do
burn however, given enough time.
Sun is much more dangerous to children. I
have heard medical reports suggesting
that children who are sunburned even
once in their young childhood are many
times more likely to suffer from skin
cancer than a sunburned adult is. Please
bear this in mind if you go away with
children to a hot place, and always put
total sunblock on children, even in a
relatively mild climate.

PAGTATAYA

Ang klase ni Mrs. Santos ay magkakaroon ng

isang paglalakbay sa Dinosaur’s Land in Angeles
City, Pampanga, kinabukasan. Si Samantha ay
excited na isuot ang kanyang leather jacket,
regalo ng kaniyang tito na nasa ibang bansa
noong kaarawan niya. Ang ulat ng panahon ay
nagsasabi na mainit at maaraw ang panahon.
Ano ang masasabi po kay Samantha na suotin at
bakit?
