Answer:

Long term exposure to ultraviolet waves can cause sunburns and skin cancer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause irreversible damage to the skin.

Although anyone can suffer from burns or even skin cancer, some characteristics may indicate a greater risk of being affected by these ultraviolet rays, depending on physical or hereditary characteristics.

It is always important to use sunscreen to avoid irreversible consequences.
