Controversy continues over the carcinogenic properties of tanning beds. The tanning industry "sells" tanning beds as a safe alternative to UV exposure for both tanning as well as vitamin D biosynthesis. But, how safe are tanning beds? Epidemiologic data - incomplete and unsatisfactory - suggests that tanning beds are not safer than solar ultraviolet radiation and that they may have independent effects from solar exposure that increase risk for melanoma.
关于晒黑床的致癌特性,争议仍在继续。晒黑行业将晒黑床“推销”为一种安全的替代紫外线照射的方式,既可以用于晒黑,也可以用于维生素D的生物合成。但是,晒黑床到底有多安全呢?不完整且不尽人意的流行病学数据表明,晒黑床并不比太阳紫外线辐射更安全,而且它们可能具有与太阳照射无关的独立影响,会增加患黑色素瘤的风险。
