“…Although childhood and teen years represent only 33% of the lifetime to 60, McBride (2009) estimated that the Nambour study cohort before age 20 had received around 50% of their total UV exposure to age 60. This estimate is broadly consistent with two other studies in southeast Queensland (Parisi et al, 2000, 1999) but differs materially from the approximate 25% before age 20 years of life exposure (to age 77) that was found for a Danish volunteer population (Thieden et al, 2004). However, since Danish adult exposure was averaged from findings in two distinct adult populations (62 indoor hospital workers and 22 golfers) this is likely to have diminished the accuracy of the Danish estimate as well as its generalisability.…”

We review the general amount and patterns of exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation that children and teenagers experience and the spectrum of UV-related skin damage that can occur as a result. Data about the amount of solar UV received by children and teenagers are relatively few but suggest that around 40-50% of total UV to age 60 occurs before age 20. Among white children, those with the palest complexions suffer the most damage. Comparisons of prevalence and incidence of outcomes in children and teenagers sharing common ancestry, but living at different latitudes, show that prevalence rates of photoaging and melanocytic naevi are higher in Australian compared with British children, and similarly for melanoma. Genetic risk for the majority of the melanomas in teens is a function of genes controlling naevus propensity and pigmentation in the skin. High numbers of naevi and freckles, red hair, blue eyes, inability to tan, as well as a family history are the primary determinants of melanoma among adolescents. Beyond the signs of skin damage seen in children are the latent effects observed later in adulthood. Childhood is believed to be a susceptible window for long-term harmful effects of UV, as evidenced by clear differences in skin cancer risk between child and adult migrants from high to low latitudes. Effective UV radiation protection from childhood is necessary to control both immediate and long-term harmful effects on children's skin.

“…1 Clothing is an important component in the protection strategies of both the New Zealand and Australian Cancer Societies [6] and ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) is used as an indicator of fabric protection capacity [7]. Characteristics of fabric identified as affecting UVR transmission using laboratory testing include: fiber content [8,9], structure [8]; color [9-11]; wetness [12] and extension [13,14]. However, conditions of use may also influence the actual UVR transmission and UPF capacity of the fabric.…”

The effect of fabric type, color, fit and wetness on transmission of solar erythemal ultraviolet radiation through garments was investigated using laboratory testing and during simulated wear using a multivariate experimental design. The effect of fabric type, color, and wetness on UVB transmission (280–320 nm) through fabrics was determined under laboratory conditions using a spectrophotometer. Garments were also evaluated under conditions of simulated use in Queensland, Australia using polysulphone dosimeters. Dosimeters, placed against the ‘skin’ at selected sites on the torso and on the adjacent outer-surface of the covering garment, were used to measure solar UVB. During simulated wear the fabric type, fit and color were the main variables affecting UVB transmission through the garments. To optimize protection, dark fabrics with good cover should be constructed into garments with positive design ease, and be selected and worn as loosely-fitting styles that maximize the surface area covered

“…Researchers interested in UV transmission through clothing and textiles generally from the perspective of protecting the skin surface, have investigated the effect of fiber content (17, 18), structure (18), color (17, 19, 20), wetness (21), and extension (22, 23) on transmission commonly using laboratory testing of new, relaxed flat fabrics. More recently, the effect of fabric, color, fit, and wettedness on UVB and UVA transmission through clothing has been measured during simulated wear (24).…”
