Ultraviolet Light vs Visible Light

UV Rays Cause Skin Cancer

UV rays continually damage and alter the

structure of our skin cells DNA.

Skin cells continually fix and repair damaged

DNA

The continuous repair and skin cell corrections

actually lead to a cell dying or becoming

cancerous

“…UV kills cells because of the accumulation of

DNA damage.”

- Chair of Biology Westminster

College

UVB Rays = SUNBURN

UVB radiation causes

sunburn, darkening

and thickening of the

outer layer of the skin

UVB Rays do not

penetrate the outer

layer of your skin

UVB Rays are the

chief culprit behind

Sunburns

SPF = “Sun Protection Factor”

The number of the SPF represents

the level of sun burn protection

against the UVB Ray only.

SPF 30 = 300 minutes Sun Burn

Protection

The FDA recommends that you

reapply sunscreen every 2 hours.

Any sunscreen with an SPF below

15 cannot claim “Protection

Against Skin Cancer.”

The difference between SPF 30 and

SPF 50 is 1 % protection.

FDA states:

NO SPF

higher

than 50

SPF and Water

Resistance Test

(FDA)

Example of testing a

manufacture has to pass in

order to claim their SPF

number.

UVA Rays account up

to 95% of the

Radiation that

reaches the Earth

UVA Rays Penetrate the Skin

UVA Rays – Strongest

UVA Rays Reflect Off…

Causes, Wrinkles, Skin Aging, Moles, Sun

Spots, and Cataracts

Can penetrate glass, windshields, and

clothing

UVA Rays can reflect off of water, concrete,

asphalt, and snow.

The outside worker receives a double dose of

UVA Rays - One from the Sun and one from

the reflection as shown above.

3 Types of Skin Cancer

Basal Cell

Most common. Over1 million US

cases each year.

Small reddish patch, shiny bump

or pink growth.

Very treatable, has to be cut out

of your skin or burned off with

cauterizing pen.

Squamous Cell

250, 000 new cases ever year.

Scaly red patch, wart like, or an elevated growth.

Very treatable, has to be cut out of your skin or burned off with cauterizing pen

Melanoma

Can be fatal if not treated early. 63,000 cases each year

Can metastasize quickly and spread to other areas of the body.

Usually a brown or black mark but also red or even white.

Treatment more intense: surgical removal sometimes removing large areas of the body because melanoma is like an iceberg – much larger under the surface of the skin.

What to Look For &

Skin Cancer

Prevention

Moles, Birthmarks, & Discolorations

• Change in color

• Increase in size or thickness

• Change in texture

• Irregular outline

• Larger than a pencil eraser

Skin Cancer is a Billion Dollar Industry

Since 2006 there has been a 126.2% increase in

skin cancer diagnosis and treatment - $3.6 billion

to $8.1 billion.

An estimated 11,000 cases of skin cancer could be

avoided if proper prevention is introduced.

For every dollar spent on prevention $2 can be

saved in diagnosis and treatment.

Developing a Sunscreen Program for you outside

workers will save the company from insurance

rates going up and time off the job.

Sunscreen Ad’s From 1920 to 1950

Sunburns just a

part of life.

Tanning is now

fashionable.

Products made to

soothe a sunburn

rather than prevent.

First self tanning

products emerge. Sun

lamps on the market.

Sunburns, Sunburns,

Sunburns!!!

Sunscreen Ad’s From 1960 to 1990

Tanning Sprays hit

the market.

First links are

found between

the sun and skin

aging. SPF is born

(Sun Protection

Factor).

First water

resistant

products.

Education about skin

cancer becomes

prevalent. Fake tanning

products are produced.

FDA States Spray Sunscreens are Bad for Children

Contains up to 70% Denatured Alcohol “Poison”

The active ingredients have never been tested internally in the body.

Will cause

burns

Consumer Reports states about Spray

Sunscreens 07/02/2014:

“We now say that until the FDA completes its analysis, the

products should generally not be used by or on children”

Chemical vs. Physical Sunscreens

The FDA Approved ( 3 ) Active

Ingredients for UVA protection

CHEMICAL PROTECTION

Avobenzone

PHYSICAL PROTECTION

Zinc Oxide

Titanium Dioxide

Dr. Oz Physical vs Chemical

“…lose as much as 90% of their

effectiveness in just an hour, so they

need to be reapplied often…”

“…Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, the

two minerals or Physical

Sunscreens…they sit on the surface of

the skin and physically block UVB & UVA

Rays.”

Watch THIS VIDEO and see what he says

Chemical vs. Physical Sunscreens

“Avobenzone has been shown to

degrade significantly in light, resulting in

less protection over time.]The UV-A light

in a day of sunlight in a temperate

climate is sufficient to break down most

of the compound….The FDA indicates

a -36% change in avobenzone's UV

absorbance following one hour of

exposure to sunlight This degradation

can be reduced by using a

photostabilizer, like octocrylene.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avobenzone

Approximately 95% sunscreens are manufactured with Avobenzone

Skin Cancer Prevention

See your dermatologist or physician

every year for a professional skin exam.

Examine your skin head to toe every month. Pay attention to your body, the

earlier the abnormal growth is treated

the less harm it will cause.

Cover up with UV protectant clothing,

wear 4 inch broad brimmed hats and UV blocking sunglasses (UPF rating)

As the Australians always say:

SLIP Into a long sleeve shirt

SLAP On a Hat

SLOP On SunscreenWear Sunscreen!

UV Protective Clothing UPF – Ultraviolet Protection

Factor

Determines the amount of UV

radiation that is being

absorbed or blocked from the

clothing

UPF 50 = 1/50th of the UV

radiation penetrating the

fabric

The following features affect

the natural level of sun

protection provided by any

fabric

Weave Stretch Age

Color Wetness

Weight Content

Sun Protection Clothing

UPF Rating Protection Category % UV radiation Blocked

UPF 15 - 24 Good 93.3 - 95.9

UPF 25 - 39 Very Good 96.0 - 97.4

UPF 40 - 50+ Excellent 97.5 - 99+

Sun protective clothing is clothing specifically designed for sun protection and is produced from a fabric rated for its level of ultraviolet (UV) protection

All fabrics disrupt UV radiation to some degree. Clothing that does the best job carries an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating from 15 (good) to 50+ (excellent).

UVB & UVA Rays can cause cataracts and

burning of the skin around your eye.

Polarized lens’ only block the glare from water

and snow.

UV protectant sunglasses physically protect

against UVB & UVA Rays from the Sun.

UV Lenses should meet ANSI Z80.3 blocking

requirements. (This refers to standards set by the

American National Standards Institute.)

Look for lenses with “UV 400 protection”

SunglassesPolarized UV Coated

Older White Men at Greatest Risk

Men spend more time outdoors exposed to UV radiation

Men are less diligent about wearing sunscreen

Men are less likely to perform self-skin exams or visit the

dermatologist

Current melanoma incidence in older white males (65 and

older) is about 5 times that of the general population

Dangers of Skin Cancer are Everywhere

Airline Crews

Risk of Skin Cancer doubles with Pilots

A flight from LAX to JFK will expose a pilot to the same radiation as a chest X-Ray.

Gel Nails

Exposure to UV Nail lights over long periods of time increase risk of Skin Cancer

One of the most unnoticed area where skin cancer develops is under your finger and toe nails

Truck drivers develop Skin Cancer on left side of there face and arms .

Windows, even tinted windows only block a small amount of UV rays.

Drivers & Truckers

Dangers of Skin Cancer are Everywhere

Tattoos in the Sun

UVA Rays penetrate deep into the skin dispersing the tattooed ink

Tattoos are amazing works of art that can easily fade over time without proper sun protection. Always use a Zinc Oxide Sunscreen

Transplant Patients

Transplant patients have a higher risk for developing Skin Cancer compared to General Public

The frequency at which Squamous Cell Carcinoma occurs in transplant patients is 65 times greater than the general population.

If you use a tanning bed more

than 6x’s – increase chance of

getting Skin Cancer by 76%

More than 170,000 cases of

non-melanoma skin cancer in

the US each year are

associated with indoor

tanning.

Tanning Beds

Sunscreen & Vitamin D Vitamin D supports calcium

absorption in the body that

promotes healthy bones & the

body’s immune system.

How long do you have to be in the

sun before you reach your

maximum Vitamin D daily intake?

Just 5-10 minutes a day – MAX

vitamin D intake

Skin Damage Myths

1. Teens and young adults can afford to tan and burn

since people don’t develop skin cancer until they are

much older.a. False they couldn’t be further from the

truth, ages 15 to 29 are the most common

ages to begin to develop skin cancer.

2. You can’t tan or burn on a cloudy day so you don’t

need sun protection.b. False some 80% of the suns UV rays can

penetrate rain and fog so you need to

practice sun protection on overcast days.

3. People who tan easily or have naturally dark skin don’t

have to worry about skin cancer.c. False while having fair skin and red or

blonde hair puts you at a higher risk of skin

cancer all skin tones can develop skin

cancer.

4. Getting a base tan before a vacation

can help protect you from getting a

sunburn.d. False a tan is your skins reaction to

DNA damage from UV rays`. When

your skin tans it is producing

melanin which is how it protects

against further damage. This is the

equivalent to a SPF 4, there is no

such thing as a healthy tan

5. Indoor tanning is safer than outdoor tanninge. False, Indoor tanning and tanning

outside are equally dangerous. Artificial UV

rays from indoor tanning beds are typically

stronger than actual UV rays from the sun

Heat Stress

According to the Mayo Clinic one major way to prevent Heat Stress is to Avoid

sunburn. Having a sunburn reduces your body's ability to rid itself of heat. They

recommend applying a mineral based Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30+ before

heading outside.

Heat Stress Warning Signs

Profuse Sweating

Nausea or vomiting

Paleness or Headache

Dizziness

Fast, Shallow breaths

Muscle Weakness or Cramps

Rapid Pulse

Ways to Avoid Heat Stress

Limit Physical Activity in the Sun

Use Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30+

Seek Cooler Places

Drink 2-5x more water

Take Precautions with Medications

Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing

Let Your Body Acclimate to the Heat

Surgeon General Issues Skin Cancer

Warning July 30th 2014

The U.S. Surgeon General issued a “Call to Action” describing Skin Cancer as a “major public health problem.”

He also stated “We have public health issues, and we want

people to contribute their part to making things better.

Examples include employers who have OUTDOOR WORKERS.

What can they do to decrease the amount of UV exposure to

their workers? Its about the induction of shady areas,

educating their workers and making sure they use protection.

Its hats, its SUNSCREEN.”

We have to change the social view that tanned skin is good and healthy when in reality tanned skin is damaged skin.

In conclusion we believe the

outside worker should have

A 4 inch brimmed hat

Wear Clothes with UPF of 25-39

Wear UV400 Sunglasses

Provide a Full Broad Spectrum Physical Sunscreen
