Radiación UVB
Tipo de radiación ultravioleta (UV). Los rayos UV son rayos invisibles que forman parte de la energía que viene del sol. La radiación UVB causan quemaduras de sol y los científicos pensaron durante mucho tiempo que puede causar melanoma y otros tipos de cáncer de la piel. Los especialistas de la piel recomiendan que las personas usen filtros solares que reflejen, absorban o difundan la radiación ultravioleta.
