Ultraviolet Radiation declared a human carcinogen by the World Health Organization

In June 2009, the International Agency for Research on Cancer reassessed the types of radiation known to cause cancer in humans. Included on the IARC list is ultraviolet radiation from sun exposure and indoor tanning booths. An analysis of over 20 studies shows that the risk of developing melanoma is increased by 75% when the use of tanning beds starts before age 30 ! (IARC media center)These findings reinforce the previous WHO recommendations to avoid indoor tanning booths and to protect your skin from over exposure to the sun.
