UV-A (long wave, black light)over 99% of UV on the earth surface. UV-A enhances the harmful effects of UVB,and is responsible for photosensitivity reactions. Cause of suntan.UV-B (medium wave)1% on the earth surface. UV-B causes sunburn and photochemical damages within cells, including DNA. Cause of sunburn.UV-C (short wave, germicidal)UV-C is filtered out by the ozone layer and does not reach the earth surface. |
