Tanning Beds – Cause of Skin Cancer?
This update by Jessica Gray regarding skin cancer just came in from the reports of Healthy Montana.
Last July, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a working group of the World Health Organization (WHO), added tanning beds to its Group 1 list, meaning the use of tanning beds is considered a dangerous carcinogen for humans. Other examples of Group 1 carcinogens include radon and tobacco smoke.
“Our culture changed in the 1920s, with the popularity of convertible cars and Coco Chanel’s bathing attire that no longer covered the whole person. Suddenly, it wasn’t fashionable to have a creamy white complexion,” said Karrie Fairbrother of Helena. A nurse educator who travels around the state focusing on skin cancer prevention and early detection, Fairbrother is the former president of the Dermatology Nurse’s Association.
“I challenge young kids,” Fairbrother said, to be the changing force in their families. Just as seatbelts have saved lives, she continued, “If we can change the way society views tanning, we will save lives.”
