Solstrålingens indhold af UV afhænger i øvrigt af solhøjden, dvs. af den geografiske placering, årstiden og klokkeslættet. Farligst er det at opholde sig i ækvatoriale egne midt på dagen. I DK frarådes solbadning i tidsrummet 11-15 fra midten af maj til midten af august.
 
Det skadelige UVB-lys fra solen, trænger langt ned i klart vand. Da UVA-lys også er tilstede, betyder det, at vi faktisk kan blive brune under klart vand, dog bliver UV-lyset dæmpet en del, især hvis vandet er uklart af [[alge]]r eller andre partikler<ref>[http://www.albinism.org/publications/sunprotection.html Sun Protection] Citat: "...As much as 96% of ultraviolet rays can penetrate clear water..."</ref>

For example, in a marsh with 13 mg C per liter of water, the surface level of UVB was reduced to 55% at just 1.4 cm deep; at 3.0 cm, the UVB was less than 5% of surface values, and at 5 cm depth, the UVB was just 2% of surface..."</ref>.
 
Viduesglas absorberer UVA og UVB, så man kanbliver altså ikke bliver brun ved at opholde sig i en vindueskarm. [[Krystalglas]] derimod, som består af næsten rent [[kvarts]], tillader passage af UVA og UVB. Da [[halogenpære]]r normalt er lavet af tyndt krystalglas, udsender de UVA og UVB. Derfor skal [[halogenpære]]r ifølge lovkrav afskærmes af minimum 2 mm UV-absorberende glas i lampen.
 
Eksponering med UV er dog ikke udelukkende skadelig. Bl.a. dannes der gavnligt D<sub>3</sub>-[[vitamin]] i huden når den eksponeres for UV. Af samme grund anbefales mennesker med mørk hud eller tradition for tildækning med tøj at indtage D<sub>3</sub>-[[vitamin]] som kosttilskud.
 
Solbadning har en gavnlig virkning på visse hudforandringer og hudsygdomme. [[Niels Finsen]] var pionér på dette område. Han indførte bl.a. UV-behandling af hudtuberkulose i slutningen af 1800-tallet.
