Yes, campfires do emit ultraviolet (UV) light, though the levels are relatively low compared to direct sunlight. Most of the UV radiation produced is in the UV-A range, which can contribute to skin damage over time. However, the intensity of UV light from a campfire is much less than that from the sun, so while some UV exposure occurs, it is not a significant risk compared to outdoor sun exposure.
