Thermal discomfort of respiratory protective devices / A.B. Dubois, Z.F. Harb, S.H. Fox

Sumario: The present study measures facial discomfort as a function of temperature of the skin of the face when using face masks that depend on tidal breathing rather than continuous airflow. The conclusion is that thermal conditions of the face contributed to, and may possibly dominate, the discomfort of wearing respiratory protective devices
