Skin cancer and artificial sources of UV radiation.
Exposure of people to indoor ultraviolet (UV) radiation has vastly increased in the past one or two decades, mainly due to increased recreational exposure and partly as a result of therapy for skin disease. This trend will result in an increased incidence of skin cancer, but the magnitude of the increase is speculative at present because of a lack of information about the extent and nature of the recreational UV exposure.
