Physiological strains in hot-humid conditions while wearing disposable protective clothing commonly used by the asbestos removal industry / Tadakatsu Ohnaka, Yutaka Tochihara and Tsuneji Muramatsu

Sumario: The purpose of this study is to investigate workers' responses to work in hot-humid conditions while wearing protective clothing commonly used by the asbestos removal industry, and to evaluate the effects of resting between work bouts in a cool environment on the physiological strain. The idea of a "cool room" inside the workplace, so to reduce thermal stress, is proposed
