Dark colored clothing, Powerful Protect Yourself from the Dangers of UV Rays

Want to protect yourself from the dangers of sun exposure? Shelter behind a dark colored clothing, such as blue and maroon.Apart from the discomfort when wearing clothing with these colors when the sun is hot, scientists in Spain claim that dark colored clothing offer better protection against the extra exposure to sunlight is harmful, compared with brightly colored clothing.

The scientists from the University of Barcelona Cataluna also mentioned that the bright colors like white and yellow at higher risk of skin cancer cause disease in man. The study, published in the journal Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, finding that the type of material with a choice of dark colors, it turns out better in the absorption of sunlight. "The color of cotton is one factor that has a tremendous impact to provide protection against ultraviolet radiation," said Dr. Riva Ascension, the scientist who led the study.

In their research, the scientists placed a solution of cotton into three red, blue and yellow. They then measured the ability to absorb UV light from each of these materials. The results found that the dark blue color has the highest level of UV absorption, while the yellow color has the lowest absorption rate. Dr. Riva hope with this research, clothing factories get more information so that is able to design clothing that can protect themselves from the sun more effectively. "The study will be given to clothing factories to improve protection against the sun on your clothes," he said.
