The World Health Organization is calling for a regulatory crackdown on
sun-tanning salons, saying their popularity is fuelling an epidemic
increase in skin cancer around the globe.In particular, the WHO says anyone

should be forbidden from making health claims; and personnel should be
trained to ensure that equipment is used safely.
