Because so little data are available on practices and procedures used by tanning salons, we studied, as customers, salons in a major city in Arkansas, the state where the practice began. We measured both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) output at multiple reference points and found UVB always to be present, but at lower-than-expected levels. The highest irradiance was always at the umbilicus and the lowest was on the face. We evaluated compliance with accepted safety principles and federal guidelines and regulations; too often we found no eye protection and sometimes we found inadequate limits of exposure time. Persons with skin types I and II were sometimes promised a safe, effective UVA tan that would protect against sunburn. From our experience we concluded that if the industry is to continue, there is need for closer supervision and regulation.
由于关于晒黑沙龙所采用的操作和程序的数据非常少，我们作为顾客，对晒黑业务起源的阿肯色州一个大城市的沙龙进行了研究。我们在多个参考点测量了紫外线A（UVA）和紫外线B（UVB）的输出，发现UVB总是存在，但水平低于预期。最高辐照度总是在脐部，最低的在面部。我们评估了对公认安全原则以及联邦指导方针和法规的遵守情况；我们经常发现没有眼部防护，有时还发现暴露时间限制不足。I型和II型皮肤的人有时会被告知有一种安全、有效的UVA晒黑方法，可以防止晒伤。根据我们的经验，我们得出结论，如果这个行业要继续下去，就需要更严格的监督和管理。
