The Effect of evaporative cooling of respiratory protective devices on skin temperature, thermal sensation, and comfort / S.H.Fox, A.B. Dubois

Sumario: High skin temperature of the face is a major source of discomfort while wearing respiratory protective devices. In this paper theoretical considerations of thermal exchange between the face and the environment with and without a mask are discussed to elucidate factors that may improve the design of masks to increase their acceptability
