Abstract

Children must make decisions about how to wear clothes depending on the environmental conditions for sustainable clothing life. Damage from UV radiation should be minimized. Therefore, this study developed educational content for Home Economics classes in which the children were required to develop a sun protection scheme using clothing. It was intended that children explore the following questions: (1) Why do we need a sun protection scheme? (2) How should clothing be used for it? Transmission of UV radiation through clothing was examined in the environmental conditions such as season, weather, and location. Measurements using UV labels were examined for their potential in a sun protection scheme. The main results are as follows: (1) Clothing is extremely useful for sun protection. The amount of UV rays transmitted is affected by a fabric’s density, thickness, and hue (brightness). (2) In the sample fabric and clothing, considering the above-mentioned characteristics, the transmission of UV rays was higher in clear weather and outdoors. In spring, the amount of UV rays and its transmission is high. However, we did not observe a significant difference due to season (ANOVA, p<0.05). Although UV protection has been actively conducted only in summer, protection is necessary also in winter and spring. (3) As a qualitative method to examine the transmission of UV rays through clothing, the use of ultra-sensitive UV labels (UV indicators) was effective. We expect that sustainable clothing life will enable students to use the knowledge that they acquire.
