As to comparing solar UV (ultraviolet) versus tanning beds, it is not possible to make the quantitative comparison you ask for. Both sources expose the body to UVA and UVB, the two portions of the UV spectrum associated with increased skin cancer risk. The relative mix of UVA and UVB can vary among tanning facilities. And the exposure versus risk equation is not defined precisely enough to say how much the risk varies as the mixture varies. The most general truism I have heard is that it is reasonable to expect qualitatively similar health effects from tanning beds as from solar UV exposure.
