Some amounts of ultraviolet radiation are beneficial for humans but excessive exposure can cause many negative health effects to the skin and eyes and also can affect the immune system. Exposed area of skin should be covered by working clothes with low UVR transmission. It concerns both exposure to natural UV or prolonged exposure to artificial UV. This article presents some aspects of UV protective textile clothing for workers exposed to natural and artificial UV radiation. This article presents results of selected textile samples transmittances and calculated UPF and new proposed AUPF, which describes protective properties against UV of textiles. The UPF and AUPF differs substantially between each other, what is related both to the weighting factors of erythema and actinic efficiency functions and spectral range of these functions. UV protection by clothing depends on a large variety of factors, such as type of fiber, color or moisture content. Contrary to popular opinion, however, some fabrics provide insufficient ultraviolet (UV) protection.
适量的紫外线辐射对人类有益，但过度暴露会对皮肤和眼睛造成许多负面健康影响，还会影响免疫系统。暴露的皮肤区域应穿着紫外线透过率低的工作服。这既涉及自然紫外线暴露，也涉及长时间暴露于人造紫外线。本文介绍了针对暴露于自然和人造紫外线辐射的工人的防紫外线纺织服装的一些方面。本文展示了所选纺织品样品的透过率以及计算得出的紫外线防护系数（UPF）和新提出的抗紫外线能力系数（AUPF）的结果，AUPF描述了纺织品的抗紫外线性能。UPF和AUPF彼此之间存在很大差异，这与红斑加权因子和光化效率函数以及这些函数的光谱范围有关。服装的紫外线防护取决于多种因素，如纤维类型、颜色或含水量。然而，与普遍看法相反，一些织物提供的紫外线防护不足。
