UVBStrahlen

UVBStrahlen, also known as UVB radiation, are a type of ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth's surface. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths ranging from 280 to 315 nanometers. While UVA radiation penetrates deeper into the skin, UVB is primarily absorbed by the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.

UVBStrahlen play a crucial role in the synthesis of vitamin D in the human body, which is essential for bone health and immune function. However, overexposure to UVB radiation can have detrimental effects. It is the primary cause of sunburn, characterized by redness, pain, and inflammation of the skin. Prolonged and repeated exposure to UVB is also a major contributing factor to the development of skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Furthermore, UVB radiation can accelerate skin aging, leading to wrinkles, leathery skin, and age spots.

The intensity of UVBStrahlen varies depending on factors such as time of day, season, latitude, and altitude. They are strongest during the summer months and between 10 AM and 4 PM. Clouds can reduce UVB intensity, but they do not block it entirely. Opaque surfaces like clothing and sunscreen can effectively block UVB radiation. Protecting the skin from excessive UVB exposure through the use of sunscreen, protective clothing, and seeking shade is recommended to mitigate its harmful effects.
