Sunlight is very essential for human health as the human body requires it to produce vitamin- D which improves the blood circulation and immunity to pathogens. At the same time, the ultraviolet (UV) rays present in the sunlight is potential to cause severe damage to human on prolonged exposure. UV rays are classified into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C category with wavelength range of 320-400nm, 280-320nm and 100-280nm, respectively. UV-C does not reach earth due to shorter wave length and UV-A reaches earth but does not harm significantly. UV-B component is harmful to human being and animals with potential risk of skin cancer, eye cataract etc. Even plant kingdom is also affected by UV-B exposure
