In reality, these devices emit almost no UV radiation, or if they do, it is at a very low level, and does not have any harmful effects on the skin. However, the concern is probably UVA radiation from light that leaks in through windows or glass. For clear glass, UVA radiation can pass through up to 75%. While tinted or reflective glass can pass through 25-50% (UVB radiation cannot pass through glass).

Therefore, even though home appliances hardly emit UV rays, if you want to protect your skin from sunlight that may pass through windows or glass while you are indoors, it is recommended that you always apply sunscreen. Use sunscreen with the appropriate SPF and PA values ​​(SPF 30 and PA 3+ or higher) and close the curtains. Try to sit as far away from the window as possible. Or switch to laminated glass instead of clear glass. And install a film to filter UVA rays that pass through the glass. Including avoiding being in areas where sunlight shines will help prevent UVA rays from harming the skin.
