2.2 UV Spectra
WARNING!
Direct exposure of skin and eyes must be avoided by all means!
The ultraviolet spectrum is divided into three sections:
UVA 315 nm -380 nm
UVB 280 nm -315 nm
UVC
100 nm -280 nm
UVA
is a part of natural sunlight and its most visible effect on human tissue is the tan. Its
intensity is easily underestimated, as it is not visible. An overdose of UVA will not cause
a UV-induced erythema (sunburn) but a heat-induced erythema, such as it may be
caused by visible light.
UVB
is more aggressive than UVA, and also a part of natural sunlight. It has the same
negative effects on human tissue as natural sunlight, the most common being the UV-
induced erythema (sunburn),
UVC
is even more aggressive than UVB, it can cause severe tissue damage. The risk of
skin cancer is higher than with UVB.
