What materials are radiation protection suits made of?

We often see pregnant women wearing a bib-like garment. This is anti-radiation clothing. The function of anti-radiation clothing is to prevent electromagnetic waves, radiation, and some invisible elements from penetrating into the body and harming the baby in the belly. Pregnant women in many special occupations will wear anti-radiation clothing. The material of anti-radiation clothing is a mixture of various metal fibers and textile fibers.

Radiation protection suit

Also known as electromagnetic radiation shielding clothing, it is made of a mix of metal fibers and textile fibers, and the manufacturing process is relatively complicated. Radiation protection clothing originated from military industry.

Anti-radiation clothing is mostly for civilian use, and the target audience is mainly pregnant women and people in special occupations. my country's civilian radiation protection clothing began in the 1990s. After more than 20 years of development, the industry has become increasingly mature, and fabric technology and textile technology have improved year by year.

Currently, the radiation protection fabrics on the market include:

Coating, multi-ion, stainless steel metal fiber, silver fiber, etc. Anti-radiation clothing has gone through four generations: the first generation of copper-nickel and other coated fabrics are not breathable, particles are easily scattered, harmful to the human body, and cannot be washed, so they have been eliminated; the second generation uses stainless steel fiber fabrics, which have better protection capabilities, are breathable, and can be washed. The fabric is too thick, the protection capabilities are limited, and the fibers are easy to break, so it is gradually being eliminated; the third generation is silver fiber fabrics, which have strong protection capabilities, are light and thin, and can be washed. It is currently the mainstream in the market; the fourth generation focuses on green and environmental protection, represented by mulberry silk silver fiber, and a blend of natural protein and silver fiber, which not only maintains super strong electromagnetic radiation protection, but also increases healthy skin-friendly properties and soft and breathable clothing wearability.

How to wear anti-radiation clothing for pregnant women scientifically? In fact, it is similar to the principle of purchase. There is no need to wear anti-radiation clothing when there is no or almost no chance of long-term radiation exposure; if the radiation in the environment is weak, then during the pregnancy preparation period (2 to 3 months before pregnancy) and the early pregnancy, you should still wear radiation protection clothing, and you don’t need to wear it in the late pregnancy before delivery; and if the radiation in the environment is strong and you may be exposed to radiation for a long time, then you should still wear anti-radiation clothing for pregnant women during the pregnancy preparation period and pregnancy period to avoid unnecessary risks.

Radiation protection suit

In a household where the home appliances are placed reasonably (i.e. for the purpose of meeting the basic needs of life) and are not turned on at the same time unless necessary, the electromagnetic radiation will not be too high. However, the radiation will still be relatively high near appliances such as refrigerators that are powered on for a long time, computer host cases, microwave ovens and induction cookers that are in operation. Therefore, what expectant mothers need to do at home is to keep a proper distance from the above-mentioned electrical appliances with strong radiation, avoid prolonged contact, and unplug the power sockets when these appliances are not in use. Anti-radiation maternity clothes can be worn selectively. For example, you can wear them when operating home appliances and computers, but you don’t have to wear them when resting or doing housework away from working appliances. Secondly, look at the working environment. According to reports, based on the detection of radiation in office buildings, the radiation in large offices where computers and other electronic office equipment are concentrated far exceeds that in computer rooms, which is a dangerous signal for expectant mothers. Therefore, if you are working in such a working environment, it is recommended that pregnant women wear anti-radiation clothing while working, and do not always stay in such an office. It is better to go out for a walk during breaks.

When buying and wearing radiation protection clothing for pregnant women, expectant mothers should be clear about the following points:

First, you don’t need to wear radiation protection clothing when sleeping in a bedroom where no electrical appliances are working. This is not good for you or your baby.

Second, you don’t need to wear radiation protection clothing outdoors. It is very beneficial and necessary to let your body get more exposure to sunlight and fresh air.

Third, do not fold the radiation protection suit easily when wearing it, as this will cause the metal wire to break, greatly reducing the radiation protection effect;
