Safety in the sun: Dispensing free sun cream to Miami Beach

Up to 3 million skin cancer tumours are identified globally each year.

But this number will continue to rise, not only as the atmosphere's protective ozone layer is broken down - which allows more harmful UV rays to reach us on the Earth's surface - but also as we spend more time in the sun.
