UV IS a form of radiation. Read this from the World Health Organization What is UV radiation? Everyone is exposed to UV radiation from the sun and an increasing number of people are exposed to artificial sources used in industry, commerce and recreation. Emissions from the sun include visible light, heat and UV radiation.
Health effects of UV radiation Small amounts of UV are beneficial for people and essential in the production of vitamin D. UV radiation is also used to treat several diseases, including rickets, psoriasis, eczema and jaundice. This takes place under medical supervision and the benefits of treatment versus the risks of UV radiation exposure are a matter of clinical judgement . I think the issue here is that people can get TOO MUCH UV Radiation. And we all know that too much of anything is bad for our bodies. If someone is having reservations about overexposure we need to respect their feelings and offer them another nail treatment. Not argue with them. Keep in mind that we do not know how much UV Radiation they have already been exposed to.
