Popis: The main aspects that play a role in the prevention of ultraviolet (UV)-induced skin cancer and photodermatoses by means of clothing are discussed. In vitro and in vivo test methods are reviewed. Furthermore, we describe various fabric parameters (e.g., composition, construction, dye) and other factors that have an influence on the UV-blocking properties of clothing. Standards on sun protective clothing are briefly introduced as well.
