"She's" sticking to a fairly predictable road with pink stitching in the seats, pink tweaks in the dashboard and a windshield that the company says blocks more ultraviolet rays.
"The ultraviolet rays from indoor tanning are generally stronger than the summer sun at noon, " said Dawn Holman, a behavioral scientist who works in the CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control.
It acts as a sunlight filter, shielding life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays that put humans at greater risk of skin cancer and cataracts and harm marine life, the agency said.
He experienced firsthand the impact of humanity on the environment when under the hole in the ozone layer at the South Pole, the harsh ultraviolet rays from the sun burned his skin and permanently changed the color of his eyes.
UTC's solution: Pass the return air through an aluminum filter sprayed with titanium dioxide that, hit with ultraviolet rays, sets off a chemical reaction that breaks down nasty organic compounds like benzene and formaldehyde into carbon dioxide and water.
This wouldn't matter in a lower latitude, because the body can synthesize vitamin D if exposed to ultraviolet sun rays.

But a product's SPF indicates only its ability to defend against sunburn-causing ultraviolet-B rays and not against ultraviolet-A, which penetrate deeper into the skin and cause premature aging. (Both types contribute to skin cancer.) For example, a person wearing SPF 50 could spend considerable time in the sun without getting burned.
X-rays, ultraviolet light and visible light particularly once it has weakened enough to stop emitting gamma rays.
These tools span much of the electromagnetic spectrum from X-rays to ultraviolet to the infrared - and of course microscopy with visible light.
The idea that ultraviolet (UV) rays can inactivate viruses is not new, but this is the first time that such firm conclusions have been made in connection with the varicella-zoster virus, the herpes virus responsible for chickenpox and shingles.
As Darwin had suggested, heat and electricity were added to the mix to mimic the effects of vulcanism and lightning (later experiments also included light of the ultraviolet variety, to represent the powerful rays of the young sun).
To avoid heading into the twilight zone of extreme ultraviolet lithography (or, worse, X-rays), chipmakers need to shrink the light.
