Scenario_1

=Scenario 1 - The Case of a Farmer=

Tom works in the farm all year long. He have to handle with different types of agricultural machinery such as tractors, rotavator, cultivator, plough, sprayer and seed drill. While working under a hot summer day, he sweats continuously particularly during the afternoon hours when he wears his normal T-shirt and working pants. Now and then, he might have to take off his shirt for cooling. As a result, he is constantly exposed to strong UV sunlight, which can lead to serious health problems like skin cancer. Furthermore, unprotected body coverage from proper clothing can easily get physical harms while handling with agriculture machinery. For instance, a simple wound on the stomach caused by an unhygienic seed drill may lead to serious health concerns. The attached soils on the seed drill may contain bacteria such as Citrobacter that is beneficial for the soil but infectious for the human body. With the help of excessive amount of sweats from the hot sun, it can increase the bacteria growth in the wound and worsen the infection.

Nonetheless, with the help of shirt and pants coated silver nano particles, Tom can wear the clothes all day long regardless of the weather conditions. The shirt help absorbs body sweat and provides a cooling effect. At the same time, it protects Tom from less external environmental harms.
