UV radiation is beneficial for vitamin D but dangerous due to skin cancer risk. Melanoma is the fifth commonest cancer in the UK, attributed to sun exposure.
UV exposure damages DNA, promotes skin cancer, causes eye issues like cataracts, and weakens the body's defense against diseases.
UV levels vary throughout the day, with peak readings around solar noon. The UV Index measures radiation intensity, higher values signaling greater risk of harm.
