The de- Support Group of the AIS society of during this very important annual velopment of forecasts about UV radiation was on the government agenda, Ontario, "there is still no cure. research campaign. called the Green Plan, but implementation was scheduled for 1993. It was brought forward in response to widespread public concern after the NASA announcement, in February 1992, about decreasing ozone layer in the Arc- tic stratosphere. A credible forecast of maximum UV radiation is usually broadcast either in the morning or the previous evening. Many feel that the minutes-to- burn index has the advantage of being easier to understand than the UV index. However, that advantage is more than offset by the implicit message that it is healthy to stay in the sun for 19 minutes when the forecast says 20 minutes to burn. The results of a national survey taken in December 1992 showed that 73% of Canadians had then heard of the UV forecasting programme and, of those, 59% said they had altered their lifestyle to some degree, (R. Saunders, 1994). Naturally, some exposure to the sun can be enjoyable and healthy for your skin. However too much tanning has a darker side. It causes imme- diate effects of sunburn and longer-term problems like skin cancer and cataracts. It is also very important to consult your physician regarding Generation Lei! COLA your personal guidelines for sunbathing. People who have diabetes, cancer or tuberculosis should be especially careful and try to avoid exposure to the sun as much as possible. The UV index used by the Weather Channel is almost identical to the one used by Environment Canada and employs the scale recommended by the World Meteorological Organization and the Environmental Protection $4,99 Agency (EPA), as the international standard for expressing UV levels.
