A great number of dermatological patients, in particular during summer time, need photo-protection measures. Nevertheless there are no scientific data on the filtrating capacity of summer clothes. In this study the transmittion of visible light and ultraviolet radiation, UVB and UVA light, has been measured through various samples of common summer clothing fabrics. The results show that type and structure (warf and woof) of tissues are more important than colour in determining the protective nature of the material.

Abstract
A great number of dermatological patients, in particular during summer time, need photo-protection measures. Nevertheless there are no scientific data on the filtrating capacity of summer clothes. In this study the transmittion of visible light and ultraviolet radiation, UVB and UVA light, has been measured through various samples of common summer clothing fabrics. The results show that type and structure (warf and woof) of tissues are more important than colour in determining the protective nature of the material.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
