The
facts can be frightening: 1.3 million Americans are diagnosed with
skin cancer each year; one in five Americans and one in three
Caucasians will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, specifically
in their left arms due to exposure while driving. More than 90
percent of skin cancers are caused by sun exposure, yet fewer than
33 percent of adults, adolescents, and children routinely use sun
protection. The Skin Cancer Foundation seeks to raise awareness
about the dangers of the sun, and the simple things one can do to
help prevent skin cancer.
Many prevention techniques are obvious, such as using sunscreen with
a high SPF, avoiding the sun during peak times and covering up. But
the power of harmful UV rays can reach you even in the shade or
through the glass of your home. Therefore, among the recommendations
of The Skin Cancer Foundation is the use of 3M Window Film on your
home's windows.
