Can babies get sunburnt through a car window?
Yes, babies can get sunburnt through a car window. While glass blocks some UV rays, it does not block all of them, particularly UVA rays, which can penetrate the glass and cause skin damage. Therefore, even when sitting in a car, babies are still at risk of sunburn if exposed to sunlight for extended periods.
Key points:
- Glass can reduce but not completely block UV rays.
- UVA rays can penetrate car windows and harm skin.
- Babies have sensitive skin that is more susceptible to sun damage.
- Prolonged exposure to sunlight increases the risk of sunburn.
