Sažetak
Textiles generate large amount of particles, which are possible sources of infections. To explore different factors for dust generation, standard cotton and cotton/polyester blend fabrics were subjected to multiple washing and drying procedures, as base study for future research in reducing particle release in atmosphere. Samples were tested after 1, 5 and 10 washing and drying cycles. The results have shown considerable increase of dust generation within multiple washing and drying cycles. Cotton fabric had significantly higher dust output than cotton/polyester blend fabric due to differences in fibre surface morphology and sequentially higher friction between cotton fibres.
