It is UVB that penetrates the skin causing tanning response. Apparently it is not know which component of UV radiation is the carcinogen. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7823#post-79034 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:02:27 +0000 kaputnik 79034@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Doesn't glass block UV? I seem to remember from high school physics that the UV emitter needed a soda glass window. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7823#post-79030 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:49:21 +0000 kaputnik 79030@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I assume a cream that offers differential smoothing effect on wrinkles for drivers will be the next big "our scienticians have specially formulated for you" type prodcut. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7823#post-79028 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:47:32 +0000 amir 79028@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The sun is not a great problem this year. After the initial "shock", light rain on the face is quite pleasant in the summer. Well, at least I am getting used to it. Feels like home. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7823#post-79026 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:44:42 +0000 Min 79026@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I love the warmth and <em>soporific</em> feel of the sun on my face through the car window when I'm driving,"</p> <p>Well that's nice for her.</p> <p>I wonder if the effect is pronounced enough for Sherlock Holmes to be able to detect it? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7823#post-79019 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:31:28 +0000 cb 79019@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18924204">...is another advantage to cycling</a> </p>
