| 247583 | 2004-06-25 12:40:00 | I just got a UV blacklight bulb for the light in my room (very cool) but can I get "sunburnt" or get cancer from this (not cool)? | willie_M (5608) | ||

| 247586 | 2004-06-25 13:21:00 | The short answer is that no, you won't get cancer or anything. I was reading up about this stuff just last week - the info is here (electronics.howstuffworks.com). Make sure you go on to read how tanning/sunburn (electronics.howstuffworks.com) works... ;) ...most especially the page about How Tanning Works, which has a box explaining UVA, UVB, and UVC - and that research is increasingly implicating UVA as a cause of skin cancer too. |
