So many have turned to this that it’s starting to become a problem. They are not getting enough sun to make the vitamin D their bodies needs to function; I agree that they need to protect themselves but they don’t need to stay out of the sun for good. To start off in your seek for safety, ask the tanning salon what kind of tanning beds they provide and what kind of rays they give off.

People that use tanning beds on a regular bases are more likely to develop skin cancer. Every year more than a thousand people are diagnosed with skin cancer due to the exposure to the UV rays from tanning beds. When skin cancer is found quickly, it can be successfully treated. The bad news is that not many people will catch it until it is to late, because they only start to take notice when there have been changes in skin’s texture and appearance which are the symptoms of skin cancer in advanced stage. “There is no question that this exposure causes thousands of skin cancer deaths a year,” says the president of the Society of Melanoma Research - David E. Fisher.
Warnings by doctors that sunlight and sunbathing can be dangerous are comparatively new. Only in the past 20 or so years have health educators tried to discourage people from exposing their bodies to too much sunlight. However statistics show the in Australia alone, the risk of getting skin cancers is increasing along with the amount of diagnoses per year. (AMA 2001). Statistics show that there is a lack of knowledge related to skin cancers and sun safety within the younger generations particularly in schools.
Lung cancer is the deadliest form of cancer, with nearly 90% of patients dying within 2 years of diagnosis, in large part because it tends to be diagnosed late (Gulyn and Youssef, 2010). Signs and Symptoms Initial presentation of lung cancer, regardless of gender, tend to be nonspecific, as a chronic or new cough in 65% to 75% of cases, with 25% or more having a productive cough (Yoder, 2006). Since lung cancer often occurs in central airways it can also present as pneumonia and lymph enlargement; hemoptysis will occur in 20% to 30% of patients. Other symptoms include dyspnea , with 60% of patients developing it early and 65% developing it at some time during their illness (Yoder, 2006). About 50% of patients present initially with chest pain (Yoder, 2006).
They have been able to verify that sun-care products are applied in an inconstant manner, as only 2/5 of the sample subjects used them regularly, whereas most of the children (62%) applied them incorrectly. Moreover, children do not use T-shirts and sun glasses often enough as a protection from the UV rays By sensitizing the parents, their children’s behavior can be influenced, as confirmed by the literature documenting the close association between the education of parents regarding proper sun protection methods and the reduced incidence of sun burning their

If extra water is added it will not affect the calculated percent of sand, It just may take a little longer to evaporate. c. A third student did not heat the beaker and sand the second time. c. This error may cause the percent of sand to be calculated at a higher percentage. The beaker is heated a second time to ensure that all the water has been evaporated from the mixture. If the sand is still wet the increased density of the sand will increase the mass of the sand and therefore result in a higher percentage total.
Goodpaster 1 Instructor: WR 60 23 October 2013 Alcohol: Emotional Effects Caused From Under Aged Drinkers This day in age; more and more kids don’t think about the damaging effects alcohol can do to a young adult’s body and mind.
