Question Sometimes indoor tanning salons promote UV-A-only tanning beds as being safe because UV-A rays don’t cause sunburn (this is because the body does not “recognize” the effect of UV-A, and a sunburn is the result of cellular inflammation and immune system activation in response to the recognized damaging effects of UV-B exposure). Evaluate the legitimacy of this claim.
