Health effects and regulation of tanning salons.
The use of artificial tanning devices to achieve year-round tanned skin has become big business. Clear and overwhelming evidence proves that skin exposure to natural or artificial ultraviolet radiation is harmful. Skin which has been exposed to ultraviolet light ages prematurely and has an increased risk of developing skin cancer. Education may be the best tool in preventing problems related to ultraviolet exposure.
