  2. Solar urticaria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_urticaria

    Solar urticaria is an immunoglobulin E-mediated hypersensitivity that can be introduced through primary or secondary factors, or induced by exogenous photosensitization. [15] [16] Primary SU is believed to be a type I hypersensitivity (a mild to severe reaction to an antigen including anaphylaxis) in which an antigen, or substance provoking an immune response, is "induced by UV or visible ...

  3. Photokeratitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photokeratitis

    Photokeratitis can be prevented by using sunglasses or eye protection that transmits 510% of visible light and absorbs almost all UV rays. Additionally, these glasses should have large lenses and side shields to avoid incidental light exposure. Sunglasses should always be worn, even when the sky is overcast, as UV rays can pass through ...

    Lifetime cumulative UV exposure to skin is also responsible for significant age-associated dryness, wrinkling, elastin and collagen damage, freckling, IGH, age spots and other cosmetic changes. The American Academy of Dermatology advises that photoprotective measures be taken, including the use of sunscreen, whenever one is exposed to the sun ...

  5. Ultraviolet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet

    Ultraviolet radiation, also known as simply UV, is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays. UV radiation is present in sunlight, and constitutes about 10% of the total electromagnetic radiation output from the Sun.

  6. Sun tanning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_tanning

    This can be alleviated at least to some extent by the prior application of a suitable-strength sunscreen, which also hinders the tanning process due to the blocking of UV light. Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation is known to cause skin cancer, [19] make skin age and wrinkle faster, [20] mutate DNA, [21] and impair the immune system. [22]

  7. Optical brightener - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_brightener

    Laundry detergent fluorescing under ultraviolet light. Optical brighteners, optical brightening agents (OBAs), fluorescent brightening agents (FBAs), or fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs), are chemical compounds that absorb light in the ultraviolet and violet region (usually 340-370 nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum, and re-emit light in the blue region (typically 420-470 nm) through the ...

  8. Luminous paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_paint

    Radioluminescent paint is a self-luminous paint that consists of a small amount of a radioactive isotope (radionuclide) mixed with a radioluminescent phosphor chemical. The radioisotope continually decays, emitting radiation particles which strike molecules of the phosphor, exciting them to emit visible light.

  9. Fitzpatrick scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale

    The Fitzpatrick scale has been criticized for its Eurocentric bias and insufficient representation of global skin color diversity. [9] The scale originally was developed for classifying "white skin" in response to solar radiation, [2] and initially included only four categories focused on white skin, with "brown" and "black" skin types (V and VI) added as an afterthought.
