View in English: UVA radiation
Radiación UVA
Tipo de radiación ultravioleta (UV). Los rayos ultravioleta son rayos que forman parte de la energía que viene del sol. La radiación UVA también proviene de lámparas solares y camillas de bronceado. Los científicos consideran que la radiación UVA puede dañar la piel y conducir al cáncer de piel y al envejecimiento prematuro. Por este motivo, los especialistas de la piel recomiendan que las personas usen filtros solares que reflejen, absorban o difundan la radiación ultravioleta.
