Title:   Ultraviolet radiation
Publisher:   Queensland Health
Description:   Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the part of the sunlight that causes sunburn and skin damage, leading to premature ageing and skin cancer. UVR is measured by the ‘UV Index', which uses a numerical scale of 0 to 10+ to rate the strength of the sun's UV rays. The higher the UV Index level, the greater the strength of the sun's UV rays and the faster the skin will burn.
