Abstract
Recent research has shown that near-infrared (NIR) radiation within certain ranges is likely to positively effect on health and well-being whether it is transmitted via the eyes or skin, yet its transmission through fabrics used in everyday clothing is frequently overlooked. This study quantifies NIR transmittance through different fabric typesby measuring NIR penetration through textiles in a controlled laboratory setting. . Our findings indicate that lighter fabrics permit greater NIR penetration. A parallel study investigated the correlation between lighting levels and NIR radiation in typical student accommodation and found stronger correlations the nearer the sensor was to the window, emphasising the importance of daylight in NIR exposure.
