Experiments examine how fabric characteristics influence UV transmission in clothing, suggesting crucial protective factors.

This research aims to assess how fabric type, color, and moisture condition affect UV radiation transmission through clothing.
Conducted four experiments on different fabric types, colors, moisture conditions, and layering effects.
Used UV-sensitive beads to measure radiation exposure on a standardized scale.
Evaluated UV protection levels of various fabrics including denim, wool, cotton, and linen.
Heavier fabrics like denim and wool provided the best UV protection.
Lighter fabrics such as cotton and linen allowed more UV transmission.
Darker fabrics blocked more UV radiation compared to lighter ones.
Wet fabrics permitted increased UV exposure than dry fabrics.
Adding more fabric layers significantly decreased UV transmission.
