In fact, most of the damaging UV radiation we get comes from sunlight. There’s no such thing as a safe suntan, experts say. There are no safe UV rays and skin and the eyes are the parts of us most likely to be dam- aged by UV. The number of new cases of skin cancer in Canada is going up fast, and so is the number of deaths caused by the most serious form of skin cancer. Melanoma is the worst type of skin cancer, and causes more than 75 per cent of deaths related to that type of cancer A person who also wants the bronzed look might not have considered the fact that so much sun exposure can prematurely age skin and bring wrinkles to the skin, cata- racts and other eye problems as well. This is the proÿ le of someone with an increased risk of skin cancer: • Spends many hours outdoors. • Has fair skin and light colored hair. (Redheads and blondes are also more at risk than dark-haired people). • Doesn’t tan readily; freckles or burns fi rst. • Has many moles. Outdoor workers can take steps to protect against UV radiation and skin cancer: • Wear clothing that doesn’t let much visible light through to your skin. • Use sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. This blocks 93 percent of burning UV rays; SPF 30 blocks 97 percent. • Wear a wide-brim hat. • Wear sunglasses rated for blocking 99 or 100 percent of UV. • Limit your exposure to intense sunlight — when the sun is higher in the sky.
