Ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure is one of the most important risk factor among workers. it may stimulate health outcomes such as multiple skin injuries and blinding eye diseases. So, UV protection is mainly important for people who expose to it. Modification of cotton textiles by nanomaterials is a new approach to overcome this problem. So, the aim of this study is to review studies conducted on using ZnO nanoparticles for improving ultraviolet protection of cotton textiles. The search strategy was provided by cochrane guideline. 45 studies were regarded as appropriate. The results show that UPF for textiles has improved by coated ZnO. However, UPF was depended on the physicochemical characteristics of ZnO and textiles such as yarn structure, effect of woven fabric construction, fabric porosity, and impurity of textiles and laundering conditions. Also, plasma technology has improved UPF, it is recommended that more studies be done to achieve better results.
紫外线（UV）辐射暴露是工人面临的最重要的危险因素之一。它可能会刺激多种皮肤损伤和致盲眼病等健康后果。因此，紫外线防护对于暴露在其中的人来说非常重要。通过纳米材料对棉纺织品进行改性是克服这一问题的一种新方法。因此，本研究的目的是综述关于使用氧化锌纳米粒子提高棉纺织品紫外线防护性能的研究。搜索策略由 Cochrane 指南提供。有 45 项研究被认为是合适的。结果表明，涂覆氧化锌可提高纺织品的 UPF。然而，UPF 取决于 ZnO 和纺织品的物理化学特性，如纱线结构、机织物结构的影响、织物孔隙率、纺织品的杂质和洗涤条件。此外，等离子体技术也提高了 UPF，建议进行更多的研究以获得更好的效果。
