Ultraviolet can damage skin cells and lead to skin cancer and damage the eyes, it can cause skin to age prematurely; X-rays damage cells inside the body. They cause dangerous ionisation and when this happens with molecules in living cells, the genetic material of a cell, the DNA is damaged.

<em>UV rays are highly injurious to living organisms since </em><em>DNA</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>proteins</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>living</em><em> </em><em>organisms</em><em> </em><em>preferentially</em><em> </em><em>absorb</em><em> </em><em>U.V</em><em> </em><em>rays</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>it's high</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>breaks</em><em> </em><em>chemical</em><em> </em><em>bonds</em><em>. UV rays damage DNA and mutation may occur. It causes ageing of the skin, damage to skin cells and various types of skin cancers.</em>
