    Author: Lichtenstein J, Sherertz EF.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1985 Sep; 32(3):142-6. PubMed ID: 4036772.
    Abstract:
    The new indoor tanning units use predominantly ultraviolet A radiation, which has less potential than ultraviolet B for causing acute sunburn but more potential for photosensitivity reactions. Effects of long-term exposure to ultraviolet A may include dermal degenerative changes and predisposition skin cancer.
