What You Wear Outdoors Can Affect Your Exposure to UV and NIR Light

[raymitchell]

Hi Dr. Seheult, Happy Holidays! I purchased one of those Red/IR panels from Amazon so I could try it out. Sun would be best, really cold to go outdoors though. Interesting that cotton, natural, is best material.

Chart says nothing about UV
Might change my choice more on blocking UV

First, must learn definition of near infrared, its nature. Also why does “W” matter when we’re talking about it getting through any of those materials?
What does “breathable” mean? How does trapped moisture on our skin affect our bodies especially our lungs when we’re out in the cold? What about sweating patients sleeping in hospital beds with plastic-covered mattresses when the hospital is cold? Are there any cause and effect to discover in any of that?

I bought uv, SPF protection jacket/hooty for my travel. It works! Didn't get sun burn from the 40C at the pyramids with zeo trees

Gee doc, are you saying light intensity (flux) is reduced by opaque barriers? Truly profound.
Next, you can tell us that water is wet.
