• Resumen

  • An editorial is presented which addresses the relationships between shady areas, public parks, and skin cancer risk factors as of 2017, and it mentions other articles in the same issue of the journal which examine topics such as the use of sunshine-related shade sails in recreation areas in Denver, Colorado and Melbourne, Australia. Climate change, obesity, and urban sprawl are assessed, as well as sunscreen and protection from sunlight-based ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure.
