Why should I be concerned about the sun's UV rays anyway? There are plenty of reasons to be concerned with the UV rays coming from our earth’s sun. UV stands for ultraviolet and the ultraviolet rays from the sun come in two forms: UVA and UVB, otherwise known as ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B. The ultraviolet A rays are what we are concerned with. These longer rays are able to penetrate certain windows, such as those on vehicles. Many windshields are treated to deal with those harmful rays but you should always check into it to make sure. Researchers and dermatologists have figured out through observation and research that Americans’ faces and bodies are more damaged from the sun in many cases on the left side more than the right. This is likely due to UVA rays penetrating the side windows of automobiles in America. Drivers, especially those on the road a lot, are constantly being exposed to these rays. Cumulative exposure to harmful UV rays can lead to skin cancer called melanoma. It is currently estimated that about 90 percent of skin cancer cases are related to this kind of over exposure.
