When The Sun Is --- No Longer Fun - he sun gives life- but it can also be a T deadly force. Exposure to the sun is responsible for more than 90 percent of skin cancers. Thls year more than 500,000 Americans will develop some form of skin cancer, and between 7.000 and 8.000 will die from it. In fact, one out of every seven Americans will develop the disease during his or her lifetime. Recent research indicates that both consistent, long-term exposure to the sun and intense periods of exposure can be equally harmful. The good news, however, is that almost every type of skin cancer is preventable. This month's IBEW Safety Reminder explains skin cancer, discusses the dan gers of this sinister killer, who is most likely to be affected by it and ways to avoid it. e'
