What is going on with this article? It contradicts itself all over the place.

But only laminated glass can completely block UVA. UVA can pass through other glass used in car, house and office windows and cause skin damage, increasing the risk of cancer.
Car windscreens block UVA, but the side and rear windows don’t
A car’s front windscreen lets in lots of sunshine and light. Luckily it blocks 98% of UVA radiation because it is made of two layers of laminated glass.

- karmakaze 2y agoThe article is horribly written. Get an LLM to summarize it in a table. I just learned the the A and B refer to Aging (deep) and Burning (surface).
- wswope 2y agoThey don’t stand for that at all. You should reconsider your LLM use.

It is mainly associated with tanning and skin aging but can also lead to sunburn. > Ultraviolet B (UVB) has a shorter wavelength. It is mainly associated with sunburn.
