EFICIÊNCIA DE TECIDOS FOTOPROTETORES COMO EQUIPAMENTO DE PROTEÇÃO INDIVIDUAL CONTRA OS EFEITOS NOCIVOS DA RADIAÇÃO ULTRAVIOLETA

Abstract

Excessive sun exposure has contributed significantly to negative health impacts. The main measure to minimize the damage caused by ultraviolet radiation photoprotection is through chemical protectors, accessories and clothing. However, some types of fabrics do not provide sufficient protection. New textile products, with the incorporation of particles of inorganic sunscreens, has been the subject of research. The research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sunscreen fabrics such as personal protective equipment. The development of the study was based on the analytical method of literature review. Protective clothing can be an effective strategy to be implemented.
