4 Safety First It's fun to play in the sun, but did you know that too much sun can be bad for you? If you ever had sunburn, you have felt some of the bad effects of too much sun and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Too many UV rays can cause more serious health effects too, such as skin cancer, older-looking skin, cataracts and other eye damage, and weakening of the immune system. (The immune system is what keeps us from getting sick.) Children need sun protection education since too much sun when you are young may lead to skin cancer later in life. The good news is that you can prevent UV radiation from hurting you. You need to practice good sun-safe habits while you are young. You should stay sun-safe all of your life. Take simple steps to protect yourself, such as wearing a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Visit www2.epa.gov/sunwise for more sun safety tips. August 2015 PAGE 4
