ABSTRACT

The hazardous effect of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is now well recognized; public

education is ongoing. People are recommended to seek shade during the peak UVB period

(10 a.m.–4 p.m.), seek shade when outdoor, regularly use sunscreen, wear protective

clothing, and use hat and sunglasses (1-6). However, people may not be aware that

overexposure to the sun can occur even if they are indoors.
