The prognosis of Ultraviolet radiation index in the City of Buenos Aires (CABA) and the Province of Buenos Aires (PBA) is in the category moderate (Value from 2 either 4)a risk of moderate damage from unprotected sunlight.
According to the available data and the references of the National Meteorological Service (SMN) and other meteorologists, the AMBA region presents a moderate risk, while coastal areas such as Posadas are expected to have an index low (Value 2), associated with cloudy skies and forecast precipitation.
What is the UV index and why is it important for health?
He index UV Solar World (IUV) is a standardized measurement describes the strength of solar ultraviolet radiation that reaches the earth’s surface. This index, whose value is expressed on a scale from 0 (low) to 11 or more (extreme), was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

The IUV value indicates the damaging potential of UV radiation. The higher the value, the greater the risk of injury and it takes less time for it to occur.
The WHO and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) note that the UVI is crucial for public health because it allows the population to make informed decisions about the need for sun protection.
From a value of 3 (moderate)It is recommended to start applying protective measures such as: B. Seek shade and wear clothing and sunscreen. Knowing your daily UVI forecast can help you prevent the harmful effects of overexposure, from sunburn to long-term skin and eye damage.
The danger of the sun’s ultraviolet rays to health
Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, both UVA and UVB radiation, poses a significant health risk. The WHO warns that chronic exposure can lead to degenerative changes in cells, fibrous tissue and blood vessels, which can lead to degenerative changes in the long term Cancer from fur Non-melanoma.
In addition, intense and intermittent exposure to sunlight, particularly severe sunburn in childhood and adolescence, is closely linked to the development of sunburn Melanomathe most serious form of skin cancer.

Beyond the skin, UV radiation is also a major factor in eye injuries. PAHO and WHO estimate that a significant percentage of cases of Cataracts worldwide are due to excessive UV radiation, which can cause blindness. Likewise, this radiation can damage the DNA of cells, cause premature aging of the skin and alter the immune system, reducing the body’s ability to defend itself against disease.
Given these risks, WHO/PAHO emphasizes the importance of adequate personal protection. The most important recommendations include: limit He Time from exposure for the Sun while The hours from maximum intensity (usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.) and prefer the shade whenever possible. Children and babies require special protection and must always be kept in the shade.
Other essential self-care measures include the use of Protective clothingB. long-sleeved shirts and trousers and a wide-brimmed hat that covers the face, neck and ears. It is essential to use it glasses from Sun enveloping which provide 99% to 100% protection against UVA and UVB rays. Finally, you need to apply a filter solar from broad spectrum Apply generously with sun protection factor (SPF) 30 or higher and reapply every two hours.
