Abstract

The enhancement of the production of garments designed to safeguard individuals employed in the healthcare sector from harmful pathogens has not only become more convenient and feasible but has also extended its applicability to encompass clothing for the general populace. Within the scope of our ongoing research endeavors, we are actively engaged in conducting a preliminary investigation, with the anticipation that it will be executed in manufacturing facilities in the near future. The procedural framework of our study entails the treatment of both cotton and polyester textiles with nanometal oxides, subsequent to which they undergo a dyeing process. Following this, an assessment of these treated fabrics is conducted to evaluate the acquired characteristics, which have exhibited highly encouraging outcomes. Simultaneously, measures are put in place to manage the wastewater generated during the dyeing phase in an ecologically responsible manner, ensuring the mitigation of any potential risks of environmental contamination
