Tanning bed health concerns
Tanning beds and cancer
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the most prominent and universal
cancer-causing agent in our environment. The US Department
of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, National Toxicology
Program Report on Carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) states that UV
solar radiation, and use of sun lamps and sun beds are "known to be a
human carcinogen." Some scientists have suggested recently
that there may be an association between UVA radiation (the type of
radiation that makes up most of the radiation in tanning beds) and
malignant melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer.
There is persuasive evidence that each of the three main types of skin
cancer, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and
melanoma, is caused by sun exposure. Women who visited
a tanning parlor at least once a month were 55% more likely to later
develop melanoma than women who didn't artificially suntan. Those who
used sun lamps to tan while in their 20s had the greatest later risk,
about 150% higher than similarly aged women who shunned tanning beds.
World Health Organization
statement
Because of several alleged adverse effects on human health, the
World Health Organization does not recommend the
use of UV tanning devices for cosmetic reasons. For example, using a sun
bed without goggles may lead to a condition known as
arc
eye.
The sun vs tanning beds
The tan produced by a tanning bed is not as deep as a tan
produced in the sun. This is because tanning beds have higher overall
levels of UV than the sun on a typical day, so the exposure times are
shorter than the average session spent in the sun to achieve the same
amount of tan. This can cause someone with a dark indoor tan to go
outside and get a bad sunburn quickly because the deeper levels of their
skin have not been exposed previously, and have no natural protection
above what white skin would have. It is strongly recommended that a
person does NOT tan indoors and outdoors on the same day, due to the
likely chance that they will get overexposed. Because overexposure
actually destroys melanin, getting a sunburn will result in LESS
tanning. The popular wisdom that you "need to burn to tan" or that a
sunburn will turn into a tan is simply wrong, and greatly increases your
chances for skin cancer later in life.
