The sun is more dangerous in winter

Japanese scientists have discovered that human eyes prone to ultraviolet rays damage when skiing than when sunbathing on the beach.

According to Telegraph newspaper, the research results of Kanazawa Medical University and Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company, ultraviolet rays from the sun are 2.5 times more dangerous in winter (with snow) than in summer.

Experimental results on the effigy showed that the human eyes exposed to the sun contained 260 kilojoules of ultraviolet rays / m ² on the beach compared to 658 kilojoules / m ² in areas covered by snow. This can lead to snow dazzling, which can lead to inflammation, cataracts, glaucoma.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has the same conclusion when the study results show that the reflection rate of ultraviolet rays on the beach usually ranges from 10 to 25%, much less than the level 80% in new places where snow is formed.
