From the point of view of the harmful effects of UV rays, the car is one of the most dangerous places. However, we spend more time in the car, especially during the summer, when we go on longer trips or shorter trips, and it is the time that exposure to UV rays is most risky. Both the driver and passengers, in a relatively small space, are surrounded by glass surfaces exposed to sunlight and harmful UV rays.



Only in few cases of the newest types of cars, the front windscreen provides more adequate protection against UV rays, while other glasses do not have adequate UV protection. It is important to understand that automotive glass filters only UVB rays, but UVA rays are the main causes of melanoma (skin cancer).

The harmful effect of UV rays accumulates in the body, and it is possible that symptoms only occur after several years.
