Labeled "Carcinogenic to Humans" byInternational Agency for Research on Cancer
An article in the Sun reports that the IARC have moved ultra-violet emitting tanning beds to its highest cancer risk category after ruling they are more dangerous than previously thought.
Previously the agency based in France had classified sunlamps and tanning beds as 'probably' carcinogenic to humans.
Research published in the latest edition of The Lancet Oncology medical journal found tanning beds could increase the risk of cancer by 75%, particularly if used by young adults or children.
This new ranking puts tanning beds in the same risk category as asbestos, arsenic and tobacco products.
