It is all UVA, over many hours a day. To repeat myself, moderate exposure to preferentially UVB likely yields the highest reward/risk. > a microeconomics model of UVR x filter factor on each cell I'm not quite sure what you mean by the economics stuff but in addition to not mentioning the UVA/UVB difference, your model doesn't seem to take into account host repair pathways, which actually require some moderate damage to be activated, but are overloaded by too much damage (similar to the effect of exercise on the body). Enhancement of UVB-induced DNA damage repair after a chronic low-dose UVB pre-stimulation https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S15687... > Some other problems with a study of Ontario work exposure are covered in the study itself. Some other potential problems, sure, along with a mention of potential benefits of vitamin D from optimal sunlight levels. Since sunlight is associated with a lower risk of almost all cancers (including recovery from melanoma), not to mention autoimmune diseases, and skin cancers are amongst the easiest to catch early and to treat when caught early, it is very irresponsible to argue against the benefits of sun exposure. The idea that every additional unit of "UVR" carries an identical marginal risk is especially harmful. |
Trying to hide low but perpetual UVR risk for people who think they are going to be immortal is counterproductive compared to fixing the delusion that would make someone avoid life expecting to get more of it.
