- Abstract
The article discusses a study that evaluates the effect of ultraviolate (UV) radiation exposure on health. It reveals that left-sided drivers receive five times more UV to the left arm than the right arm and 20 times more UV on the left side of the face than the right. It suggests that UV radiation provides substantial risk factor for skin cancer in both immune-competent and immunosuppressed organ transplant recipients (OTRs).
