WAYS TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO SUN RADIATION

      Avoid sun exposure. The sun's are strongest between 10am to 2 pm.
      Avoid reflected sunlight from sand, pavements, or snow.
      Apply sunscreens with sun protection of at least SPF 15 (Sun Protection
               Factor). This should be repeated throughout the day if exposure
               is continuous.
      Use sunscreens with prolonged exposure to artificial light sources such
               as fluorescent lamps, welding arcs, cold quartz or bactericidal
               lamps.
      Wear protective clothing to reduce skin absorption of the radiation.
       Smoke and smog in large cities only partially screens UVB rays so
       you also have to be protected.
       Use wide-rimmed hats or umbrellas.
