This was a very good article but I had to re-read the one sentence in which "tanning booths" were mentioned. I read everything I can get my hands on regarding this issue and until now I have never heard anything about x-rays being emitted from the ends of the tanning bulbs. I wouldn't think that there is much truth to this because if there were even a slight chance of that happening, the anti-tanning society would be all over it.

While these are regarded as a good source of UVA they may involve risks such as electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation and possibly X-ray radiation emitted from the ends of the bulbs.
