Abstract In this manuscript, a computerized systematic analysis system for identifying and selecting fluorescent dyes suitable for textile dyeing applications is discussed. Five representative fluorescent dyes are recommended for textile applications based on the overall evaluations. The analytical system includes rating fluorescent dyes based on their quantum yields, computational modeling of their structural features, estimation of their aquatic environmental toxicity, and calculation of their affinity to fibers. This system could significantly reduce and prevent negative consequences of applying fluorescent chemicals in textiles and consumer products.
