Does a month or an expectant mother needs to understand the UV ray of the sun?

Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is made up of UVA, UVB and UVC radiation. Both UVA and UVB radiation have the potential to cause skin cancer. UVC radiation does not reach the earth's surface as it is absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere.

Solariums expose the user to UVA and UVB rays and therefore increase the risk of skin damage, sunburn and skin cancer.

Too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause sun damage, skin cancer and eye damage. UV radiation is not related to temperature, so you can still get burnt on cool, cloudy days.

There are three different types of UV radiation:

• UVA, which can make skin look older and cause skin cancer
• UVB, which causes sunburn and skin cancer
• UVC, which is absorbed by the ozone layer so doesn't reach the earth's surface.

Many factors affect UV radiation levels.

The UV index (UVI) is a simple way to show the sun's UV radiation intensity. It divides UV radiation levels into low (1–2), moderate (3–5), high (6–7), very high (8–10) and extreme (11 and above). In Victoria UV radiation levels are most intense from the beginning of September to the end of April.

When UV levels are 3 and above, sun protection is needed because the UV radiation is intense enough to damage the skin. In Victoria from September to April UV levels are 3 and above for most of the day. Particular care should be taken between 10 am and 2 pm (11 am and 3 pm during daylight saving) when UV index levels reach their peak.
