Isn't this also what causes plastics like polypropylene to degrade under outdoor sunlight?

Another beautiful lecture. Thanks, professor. But remember that it s not only the ionizing radiation that hurts our skin. Infrarred and visible light also causes aging through heat. Less aging, but aging nonetheless. So dont bé too self assured with sunscreen or behind a window
