Embrace Light to Combat Skin Cancer

Understanding the absorption characteristics of skin in the visible range highlights the risk for individuals with lighter skin, particularly in relation to basal cell carcinoma. The model indicates that most photons penetrate only a millimeter into the skin, suggesting that the concentration in the basal layer may contribute to increasing cancer rates. To mitigate these issues, a societal shift is necessary where individuals, companies, and communities actively reduce artificial light exposure by significantly lowering their light intake to levels closer to ancestral norms. This collective effort can help counteract adverse health effects linked to light exposure.
