Researchers from the University of Valencia (UV) have found that 34 percent of ultraviolet radiation filters through under beach umbrellas.
The researchers also claimed that umbrellas intercept the full direct flow that comes from the Sun, but not the diffused radiation that penetrates through from the sides.
"We have proven that irradiance (radiation incidence per unit of surface area) that reaches the ground covered by an umbrella is 34 percent of the total", Jose Antonio MartÃnez-Lozano, co-author of the study and coordinator of the Research Group of Solar Radiation in UV, highlights to SINC.
