Tanning
The International Agency of Research on Cancer, an affiliate of the World Health Organization WHO, includes UV rays from tanning devices in their group, one being the leading cause of skin cancer. Other agents of group one is plutonium, cigarette, and UV rays from the sun.
Indoor tanning devices can emit rays 10 to 15 times higher and stronger than the sun at its peak intensity. The women who have tanned themselves six times or more are likely to diagnose with melanoma and their 20s than those who never did tanning.
Indoor tanning through a tanning bed or sunlamp exposes people’s bodies to a high level of radiation. The UV rays reach the inner layer of skin, resulting in the formation of more melanin. The tan of the skin is a response to an injury because the cells of the body signal that UV rays have injured them, and therefore, they are producing more melanin pigment. Too much exposure causes skin cancer or increases the chances of skin cancer.
