The difference between UVA, UVB and UVC What is ultraviolet radiation? Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is part of the Sun’s light spectrum that reaches the earth. UV radiation breaks down into wavelengths that are invisible to the naked eye. There are three types of UV rays: UVA, UVB and UVC. They decrease in length from A to C but increase in intensity, meaning that the shorter the wavelength, the more potential for damage. Fortunately, only UVA and UVB rays can penetrate the earth’s atmosphere. With the new SUV-A and SUV-B you can measure both single wavelenghts. UVA Accounts for 95% of the UV radiation that reaches the earth’s surface Used in tanning beds Penetrates the second layer of skin Contributes to some types of sun damage Causes wrinkles and premature aging of the skin Penetrates clouds and glass windows - always use sunscreen SmartExplorer software Software for readout, setting and logging
