Sufficient penetrates to cause sunburn and even blindness. Its effect is thermal and photochemical, producing burns and skin thickening, and eventually skin cancers. Electric arcs and ultraviolet lamps can produce a photochemical effect by absorption on the conjunctiva of the eyes, resulting in arc-eye and cataract formation. In construction work, education is required to explain to workers the risks they run from continued exposure of the skin to UV radiation, which can lead to irreversible skin effects and the production of skin cancers, including the potentially lethal malignant melanoma.
