More than a quarter of British teenagers get sunburned on purpose in the belief that they will get a suntan1 at last, a survey has found. The Teenage Cancer Trust2 discovered that 26% of British young people, aged 13 to 19, planned to get sunburned on purpose. Almost a third of the surveyed said they never used sun cream in the UK, and 55% wrongly thought the British sun was not as harmful as other countries’. In addition, more than 20% admitted they had been badly burned after falling asleep in the sun, and 74% were under the impression that they would never get burned on a cloudy day. Simon Davies, chief researcher of the Teenage Cancer Trust, said, "We found that teenagers displayed a worrying lack of knowledge when it comes to _______. We are trying to educate them to prevent the overexposure3 to the sun, which can lead to skin cancer later in life." The trust has launched a sun safety campaign, Sunburn, which asks young people to "love the sun, respect your skin". Mr. Davies said, "Even if we stop just one teenager from developing skin cancer when he grows older, the Sunburn campaign is worth it." Edward Yong, head of Cancer Research UK, said, "It’s worrying that so many teenagers are prepared to go through the pain and discomfort of sunburn in order to get a suntan." According to a study carried out by Cancer Research UK, sunburn is basically a radiation burn. It means that the DNA in people’s skin has been damaged by the sun’s ultraviolet rays(紫外线). Even after the sunburn fades4, this damage can remain and greatly increase the risk of skin cancer later in life. Researchers suggested that people with fair skin get burned easily and they should take particular care to avoid sunburn. Notes:
