Do fluorescent lamps have bad effects on skin?

Fluorescent lamps emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can potentially have harmful effects on the skin, particularly for individuals who are sensitive to UV exposure or have certain skin conditions. Prolonged exposure to UV light from fluorescent lamps may increase the risk of skin damage, including premature aging and skin cancer. However, the levels of UV radiation emitted by standard fluorescent lamps are generally low and not considered a significant risk for most people. It's advisable to limit direct exposure to fluorescent lighting for extended periods, especially for those with heightened sensitivity.
