Centro de Documentación de Fundación MAPFRE - WBGT clothing adjustments for four clothing ensembles under three relative humidity levels

Notas: Threshold limit values for heat stress and strain are based on an upper limit wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) for ordinary work clothes, with clothing adjustment factors (CAF) for other clothing ensembles. The purpose of this study was to determine the CAF for four clothing ensembles against a baseline of cottom work clothes and to determine what effect relative humidity may have. A climatic chamber was used to slowly increase the level of heat stress by increasing air temperature at three levels of relative humidity (20%, 50%, and 70%)Registros relacionados: En: Journal of occupational and environmental hygiene. - Cincinnati, Ohio : American Industrial Hygiene Association : American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. - Vol. 2, nº 5, May 2005 ; p. 251-256Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Análisis de resultados Temperatura Estrés térmico Termometría Contaminantes físicos Valores TLV Otros autores: Bernard, Thomas E.
