Ultraviolet Light is electromagnetic radiation just outside the visual part of the electromagnetic spectrum. In relation with the effects of UV radiation on man and environment it is distinguished between UVA, UVB and UVC.

The intensity of UV radiation in sunlight is expressed through the so-called UV Index. The Ultraviolet Index or UV Index is an international standard measurement of the strength of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun at a particular place on a particular day. It is a scale primarily used in daily forecasts aimed at the general public.

Its purpose is to help people to effectively protect themselves from UV light, of which excessive exposure causes sunburns, eye damage such as cataracts, skin aging, and skin cancer. Public-health organizations recommend that people protect themselves when the UV index is 3 or higher.

Protection from excessive UV radiation is therefore necessary, especially for small children. CamoBob Shade Products block almost 95% of all UV radiation, and provide excellent protection.
