Sažetak
The consequences of diminishing the ozone layer is reaching the surface of earth by shorter but high energy UV-B rays and longer energy UV-A rays. Even though the UV-A rays are necessary for vitamin D synthesis, longer exposure to UV-A and UV-B rays can cause acute and chronic reactions and damages such as erythem (sunburn), sun tanning, photocarcinogenesis and “photoaging”, as well as known skin aging and recently the formation of skin malignant neoplasm. UV protecting ability of garments and sun-screening textiles depends on a large number of factors. Therefore, in this paper the type of fiber, porosity, density, type and concentration of dye, FWA and UV protective agents to UV protection of baby cloth were investigated. UV protection was expressed as ultraviolet protection factor (UPF). UPF, UV-A and UV-B transmission through fabrics were measured using transmission spectrophotometer Cary 50 Solarscreen (Varian) according to AS/NZS 4399:1996. Additionally, the evaluation and classification of UV protection was explained considering UV index.
