Window tinting world: Skin Cancer Prevention

Skin Cancer Prevention


Skin Cancer 


Recently I read a article about skin cancer. Exposure to UV rays from sun rays can lead to a various types of skin cancer. Because UV rays are directly come to earth through sun rays.


How UV rays are come to the Eearth?


  • Amount of heat on the Earth is increasing everyday.
  • Use of refrigerator is crucial in our life.
  • Refrigerator emits Chloro-Fluoro carbons in the air.
  • Cholro-Fluoro carbon is affecting on amount of OZONE layer.
  • OZONE layer works to protect us from UV rays. It filters UV from sun rays.
  • OZONE layer is decreasing every day.
Preventions to avoid Skin Cancer.


  • Protect yourself from harmful sun rays.
  • Do not spend much time near the beachs.
  • If you like to travel a lot, get some good window tint for your car.
  • Your children should be in a tinted car ot in tinted house.
  • Use some specific window tints, which blocks 99% UV rays. For more information about this contact to Solar Control Films
