Skiers, hats you up front: exposed more ultraviolet radiation than you think. Hot chocolate at noon - preferably somewhere shady - might be a good idea.
Scientists study Sun Security have multiple readings of UV radiation on 32 high-altitude ski resorts in North America and thousands of skiers to find out whether you take precautions against the Sun, as it took hats, sunscreen and sunglasses at appropriate times interviewed.Their conclusion was: only occasionally.
""There were many findings, but the large food is that people do not know if UV is high and take precautions,", said Peter A. Andersen, Professor of health communication at San Diego State University.""People not only took precautions when it was sunny but if it was warmer, and this is a wrong calculation in the minds of people.it is absolutely no correlation between temperature and UV radiation."
It said a lot of exposure to UV radiation can on cloudy days, he.
Skiers in the northern hemisphere get the highest exposure at lunchtime and during the late winter and spring, as you closer to the summer solstice, Dr. Andersen sagte.Exposition also increases with height.
Readings were high-altitude resorts in Arizona and New Mexico, but the highest UV rating in general top - 10 UV index units - in Mammoth Mountain in California hit wurde.Dass rating is "just as intense as being smack-dab in the middle of the Sun at Jones Beach in June", said Dr. Andersen.
