Disposable diapers are now being used in incubators, raising questions concerning the amount of dust they produce during diaper change, and the subsequent effects on premature infants. This study compares the amount of dust produced during change of disposable diapers and during change of cloth diapers. The disposable diapers tested were Pampers (premature baby size, sterilized), manufactured by the Procter & Gamble Company. Cloth diapers tested included diaper covers. Results of the study indicated that disposable diapers produce far less dust than cloth diapers. Thus, disposable diapers can be satisfactorily used in incubators for premature infants. The difference in results between the two types of diapers might stem from their different structures: cloth diapers have a monolayer structure, whereas disposable diapers have a double cover over the refined pulp they contain, which might otherwise tend to generate dust.
一次性尿布如今正被用于保育箱中，这引发了关于更换尿布时其产生的灰尘量以及对早产儿后续影响的问题。本研究比较了更换一次性尿布和布尿布时产生的灰尘量。所测试的一次性尿布是宝洁公司生产的帮宝适（早产儿尺寸，已消毒）。所测试的布尿布包括尿布外罩。研究结果表明，一次性尿布产生的灰尘比布尿布少得多。因此，一次性尿布可令人满意地用于早产儿保育箱。两种尿布结果的差异可能源于它们不同的结构：布尿布具有单层结构，而一次性尿布在其所含的精制纸浆上有双层覆盖，否则可能容易产生灰尘。
