I have wondered about it myself, but it hasn’t caused any problems in the 6 months I’ve been printing. The curing station cover is supposed to block 99.95% of UV rays according to Elegoo’s website.

And having to go through the curing station cover and the printer's cover means that even less gets through. Basically 0.05% of 0.05%, so effectively zero.

So no worries on that front.
