The Sun - Risk to health?
Exposure to strong sunlight may cause
sunburn or sunstroke. It is also clear
that sustained exposure to sunlight can
cause premature ageing of the skin and
some forms of skin cancer.
Strong sunlight is not common in this
country and many Britons do not have
any idea of the potential dangers that
exposure to the sun can cause.
Fair skinned individuals are more
vulnerable to the ultra-violet rays in
sunlight and are more easily burnt than
those with darker complexions. Fair
skins can slowly develop resistance to
ultra violet light.
