UVC
- This radiation is potentially the most
damaging because of its high energy levels. Fortunately, at this time, all
UVC is absorbed by oxygen and ozone in the atmosphere and never reaches
the earths atmosphere.
UVB
- Although UVB Radiation has some beneficial
effects, including the production of Vitamin D in humans, the harmful
effects can be serious, causing sun burns, melanoma and other skin cancers
and damage to the eye tissue.
UVA
- This UV Radiation is responsible for the
generation of photochemical smog and is the single most destructive band
on fabrics and plastics - resulting in degradation and colour loss.
