“…Further research can be performed on the UVR protective properties of the uniforms and promotional clothing used by court staff . This could be performed using the Garment Protection Factor or body mesh model . The contribution of albedo of the court surface is assumed to be minor and included within the ambient UVR exposure. An avenue of research would be to compare the blue tennis courts used in the Melbourne arenas and courts to the green and red surfaces measured in previous research. The effect of different duty positions, additional shelters and shade were not taken into account, as this assessment looked at the maximum exposure scenario.…”

“…Both long-term chronic and short-term and intermittent intensive exposure to UVR are primarily responsible for the development of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) and melanoma in the Australian population (2,3,8,9,(14)(15)(16). Additionally, repeated suberythemal UVR doses can cause cumulative mutational damage (6,(17)(18)(19). UVR overexposure can also lead to eye conditions, such as cataracts and pterygium (9,19).…”

Sport is an integral and enduring part of many societies, such as Australia. Participation in outdoor sports, such as tennis, comes with a very real risk of dangerous solar ultraviolet exposure which can result in erythema (sunburn), serious conditions such as skin cancer, including melanoma, and eye conditions such as cataracts and pterygium. This study remotely assesses the effective ultraviolet exposures in response to the increased sun safety awareness at a major summertime tennis tournament in Australia. The assessment only uses publicly accessible data and information. It was found that tournament organizers have effectively adopted sun‐safe protocols into the uniform policy that the court officials (judges and ball kids) are mandated to follow. The combination of sun‐participant geometry and the photoprotection provided by uniforms significantly reduced the ambient ultraviolet exposure, which was recorded to be as high as 9.9 SED h−1, to just 1.0 and 0.5 SED h−1 for ball kids and judges, respectively, compared to up to 2.0 SED h−1 for players. Even though caution is needed against complacency with sun safety, with the need for the court officials and the players to still apply sunscreen, the court officials provided persistent visual role modeling of sun‐safe behaviors.

“…The sun protective clothing type 'all-in-one' was reproduced using MakeHuman addons in Blender and definitions from the Australian Standard AS/NZS 4399:2017, following the procedure to generate the 'all-in-one' clothing proposed by Briceno, Harrison and Paul (2018). 'All-in-one' clothing covers the body from the neck point to halfway between crotch and knee and has sleeves that cover three-quarters of the length between the shoulder point and elbow.…”

Parametric human modelling to determine body surface area covered by sun-protective clothingSolar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the main environmental risk-factor for cancer of the skin. Sun-protective clothing provides a physical barrier that reduces the UVR dose reaching the skin and European and Australian standards for sunprotective clothing set minimum clothing coverage requirements. Body Surface Area Coverage by clothing (BSAC) is calculated by means of indirect or direct methods, which are laborious and do not support computer-based apparel design.To support the sun-safe specification and design of garments, parametric digital human models and protective clothing mesh covering the minimum Body Surface Area specified in AS/NZS 4399:2017, were created making use of MakeHuman v1.1.1 and Blender software. The Whole Body Surface Area (WBSA) and the BSAC were calculated employing code developed in Blender. Thus, different groups of subjects were analysed to explore BSAC. The method assists in the evaluation of exposed body areas in a wider spectrum of different occupations.

Technological advancement leads researchers to develop multifunctional materials. Considering such trends, this study aimed to conjugate dual functionality in a single material to satisfy aesthetic and functional necessities. We investigated the potentiality of polysorbate 20 to perform as an effective ultraviolet absorber to develop UV-protective fabric. Coumarin derivative (Benzoxazolyl type) disperse dyes are well-known as fluorescent colors. On the other hand, luminescence materials are conspicuous and viable for fashion trends. Deliberate utilization of this inherent property of the dye and incorporation of polysorbate fulfilled the need for dual functionality. In addition, the knitted fabric structure enhanced wearing comfort as well. The effect of polysorbate consolidated the PET fabric as an excellent UV absorber, exhibiting an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 53.71 and a blocking percentage of more than 95% for both UVA and UVB. Surface morphology was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) with attenuated mode was used to investigate chemical modification. Moreover, X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigated the crystallography of the surface. Reflectance spectrophotometric analysis unveiled the color strength (K/S) of the dyed polyester fabrics. Finally, light fastness assessment revealed that the developed samples could resist a certain amount of photo fading under a controlled testing environment with the increment of ratings towards betterment.
