The Effects of Solar Radiation
There is still a lot we do not know about the ways different types of solar radiation impact upon our health (let alone on our car's paint jobs) so it is always hard to make an informed decision about how to best protect oneself. Many people many not have even realized, for example, that there are two distinct types of solar radiation UVA and UVB rays about which we must be concerned. So, what are they?
UVA and UVB Rays
Both UVA and UVB rays are so-called ultraviolet radiation which is simply the same thing as visible light (i.e., electromagnetic radiation) albeit vibrating at a frequency our eyes didn't evolve to see. Anyway, the difference between these two is simply that UVA is long wave radiation whereas UVB is short wave. The long wave UVB is traditionally what scientists and doctors have been concerned with because it is lower energy and penetrated only to the level of the skin where cancers are thought to originate. However, recent research is showing that we need to be concerned about both types and learn to protect ourselves from the full spectrum of UV rays.
How to Protect Ourselves?
Obviously, sun screen is an excellent idea as well as avoiding things like tanning booths and seeking shade at any time. One way to do this is through the use of window tint film both at home and in your car. Although many articles on the subject do not specifically mention the damage UV rays can cause to your eyes it goes without sayingthat they too are susceptible to the same type of damage as your skin. As such, you should always consider windshield visor strips when choosing a tint package for your car or truck to give yourself as complete a protection as possible.
