How Protective Is Protective Clothing?
Journal of Safety Research, 1986A standard method to evaluate the permeation resistance of protective clothing has been developed. This method has generated numerous data on the resistance of various clothing materials to specific chemicals. Three chemicals for which little data were available are formaldehyde, chlorine, and hydrogen cyanide.

Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 1998
Background: Topical sunscreens have been used for many years on exposed areas (i.e., hands, face) to protect the skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation. Most people do not use sunscreens on their bodies when they are wearing clothes.

Decontamination of Chemical Protective Clothing
AIHAJ, 1989This study explored decontamination procedures for removing some organic solvents from protective clothing. The permeation experiments were performed on new and decontaminated specimens in seven polymer/chemical pairs. The decontamination methods investigated were thermal decontamination and air drying at room temperatures followed by detergent washing.

Chemical permeation of protective clothing
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1980A simplified apparatus and procedure for determining the permeation rate of volatile chemical through protective clothing was developed. The method is applicable to all types of sheet material and provides an accurate measurement of the permeation rates as a function of time.

Clothing as Solar Radiation Protection
2003The sun is essential for life. Yet, sunlight can also be a source of such deleterious effects as sunburn, and suntanning, as well as premalignant and malignant lesions. These may all occur in individuals with normal responses to sunlight. In addition, there exist a variety of 'abnormal' photosensitivity responses to sunlight that may result from either

Pesticide Personal Protective Clothing
1991A fairly large established data base provides information on clothing worn by U.S. and Canadian farmers to work with pesticides, their attitudes and beliefs about pesticide risk, and clothing as a dermal barrier. Very limited similar data are available for farmers in less developed countries.

Protective clothing and heat stress
Ergonomics, 1995The high level of protection required by protective clothing (PPC) severely impedes heat exchange by sweat evaporation. As a result work associated with wearing PPC, particularly in hot environments, implies considerable physiological strain and may render workers exhausted in a short time.

Role of Clothes in Sun Protection
2002Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the carcinogenic factor in sunlight. Damage to skin cells from repeated UV exposure can lead to the development of skin cancer. Apart from avoidance of the sun, the most frequently used form of UV protection has been the application of sunscreens.

Protective clothing in the sun.
Nigerian journal of clinical practice, 2010Sun protecting clothing is clothing designed for sun protection and is producted from the fabric rated for its level ultraviolet (UV) protection. Some textiles and fabrics emloyed in the use of sun protective clothing may be pre-treated with UV inhibiting ingredients during manufacture to enhance their UV blocking capacitiy.

Protective clothing in epistaxis treatment
Nursing Standard, 1995There is a high incidence of blood contamination during the treatment of epistaxis, particularly if nasal packing is required. To assess the risk of blood contamination of staff during treatment and to gauge patients' opinions of the use of protective clothing, 50 consecutive patients with epistaxis were studied.
