Analysis of the effectiveness of the protective properties of woven materials of overalls designed to work in conditions of high microbial contamination

Abstract

The role of tissue hygroscopicity in violation of the protective qualities of tissues made of natural fibers, associated with increased tissue permeability by microorganisms, is shown. The ability of the studied tissues to absorb moisture was determined. An original program was used to assess the hygroscopicity of fabrics intended for the manufacture of special clothing. Recommendations have been developed for the use of cotton fabrics in conditions of high microbial contamination.
