By: Katrina Reade

According to the scientific reports, the ultraviolet radiation that is prevalent in the sunrays causes certain disorders in the skin that might damage the individual's overall health. Ultraviolet radiation could be followed by DNA mutation causing premature aging and sunburn and is considered as the primary reason for various skin diseases.

Referred as the electromagnetic radiation, ultraviolet light can cause damage to skin and eyes as well. UVA and UVB-the two wavelengths of the sun rays are responsible for causing skin cancers. UVB is responsible for causing Sunburn. In order to block the UVB, sunscreens having higher SPF are needed to be applied. Sunscreens have several properties that can offer protection from the sun. But, these sun protections cannot block the UVA completely. The ultraviolet radiation having longer wavelengths can get into the skin and can even cause aging of the skin at faster rate. This wave of ultraviolet radiation could be blocked by using titanium oxide and zinc oxide.

Keeping the sunscreens aside, wearing the apparels that have the quality of blocking the sun rays also provide some sort of protection from the direct sunrays. Apparel that is particularly designed to suppress the ultraviolet properties is now available in various designs and patterns. Long sleeved shirts and full-length trousers are the common designs of the "protective" clothing. They even can have complex weave structure containing various intermix of fabrics. Nylon, cotton, lycra, polyester and linen are the different types of fabrics that may be used in the "protective" clothing. Denim dyed with indigo can even have the sun block property.

Using the other fabrics such as the sun block hats and sunglasses can also protect an individual from the sun. These kinds of materials are designed to defend the face and head from the sunrays. Sunglasses are made with lenses which have the property of filtering the light, supposedly made from polycarbonate and glass. But however, the world-class brands use the glass lenses as they deliver much clarity and suppress the distortion.

In the mean time, sun block hats are created and designed to offer protection to the head and few parts of the face from the direct exposure of sunlight. Few have been fashioned even for protecting the nape. One can find these helpful on various outdoor activities.

Apart fro the individual protection which needs to wear the sun protective materials and apparels, the house also needs to be stuffed with certain ornaments that offer protection from the sun. Blinds or curtains can be used on the glass windows to restrain the sunlight while it is sunny. The house also needs to have proper insulation and ventilation so that the heat dissipated undergoes through insulation.

Numerous ways exists that can be employed for protecting oneself from the harmful sunrays. However, it is worth to note the benefits offered by the sun to the humans and the whole earth. All that is needed for a human is a little less exposure to the sunlight.
