Heat strain while wearing pesticide protective clothing in hot environments: Effects of textile physical properties and ambient humidity

Do-Hee Kim et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate heat strain while wearing pesticide protective clothing (PPC) with different physical properties in hot environments. The results showed that under 80% relative humidity conditions, physiological variables and subjective perceptions were greater than under 50% relative humidity conditions. Compared to polyester/cotton work clothing, the commonly used nylon suit had a greater physiological burden, and there were no statistical differences between the Tyvek and nylon suit conditions, especially in the 80% relative humidity environment. During exercise, there were no differences in humidity sensation among the PPC conditions, but during recovery, subjects felt more humid in the Tyvek or nylon suit than in the polyester/cotton work clothing.

Effects of liquid cooling garment on physiological and psychological strain of firefighter in hot and warm environments

Jie Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a liquid cooling garment on the physiological and psychological strains experienced by firefighters. Human trials were conducted with twelve participants wearing firefighting protective equipment, either with or without the liquid cooling garment. The results showed that the liquid cooling garment significantly reduced mean skin temperature, scapula skin temperature, sweating loss, and physiological strain index, while having little influence on core temperature, heart rate, and psychological parameters. The study suggests that psychological strain can be a predictor of physiological heat strain.

Gender differences in thermal sensation and skin temperature sensitivity under local cooling

Qiantao Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigates gender differences in the applicable cooling temperatures and locations, as well as the sensitivity of skin temperature to thermal sensation under local cooling. The results indicate that ambient temperature and cooling location significantly affect overall thermal sensation in both genders, while cooling temperature and location significantly affect local thermal sensation. For females, a neutral thermal sensation can be achieved by cooling the back at 24-26°C when the ambient temperature is 31°C. For males, cooling the back at 22-26°C is effective at 28°C and 31°C ambient temperatures, while sole cooling with a higher temperature is more acceptable at 34°C. Additionally, females exhibit higher sensitivity to thermal sensation than males under local cooling, with upper arm skin temperature being most sensitive for females and forearm skin temperature being most sensitive for males.

Progress in application of phase-change materials to cooling clothing

Fang Wang et al.

Summary: Exposure to high temperature and humidity in summer can cause heat stroke or even death due to an imbalance in the body's heat-regulation function. Phase-change materials, which have a small volume and large capacity for absorbing latent heat, are often used in clothing to reduce the temperature and humidity of the clothing microenvironment and improve thermal comfort. This review summarizes the factors to consider in selecting phase-change materials for cooling clothing, including the phase-change temperature, form, and composition. It also discusses the effects of melting temperature, heat storage, thermal conductivity, dosage, and location of phase-change materials on the heat-dissipation performance of cooling clothing. Additionally, the review summarizes methods for using phase-change materials to reduce temperature and humidity inside clothing and explores research directions for improving the lifetime of phase-change materials and developing portable personal equipment with cooling and dehumidification functions.

Evaluation of physiological and psychophysical strain of security guards wearing stab-resistant body armor under a simulated patrol condition

Jie Yang et al.

Summary: The study found that wearing stab-resistant body armor during a 50-minute treadmill walk in a hot environment had minimal impact on core temperature, skin temperature, heart rate, oxygen consumption, sweat loss, and psychophysical responses. Although there were slight differences in temperature and sweating efficiency, overall, the armor did not significantly affect the physiological and psychophysical strain of the security guards in this scenario.

Effects of thermal and acoustic environments on workers' psychological and physiological stress in deep underground spaces

Bin Yang et al.

Summary: This research aims to study the combined effects of thermal and acoustic environments on the psychological and physiological stress of workers in deep underground spaces. The results showed that temperature and relative humidity influenced emotions through their impact on thermal responses. Low relative humidity could compensate for the discomfort caused by high temperatures. Temperature had the greatest influence on workers' psychological and physiological stresses.

Experimental investigation of the effects of personal protective equipment on thermal comfort in hot environments

Yudong Mao et al.

Summary: This study conducted a field experiment and questionnaire survey in Guangzhou, China to investigate the thermal comfort of wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). The results showed that wearing PPE significantly increased thermal and humidity sensations, restricted airflow, and caused thermal discomfort for the subjects. The neutral operative temperature was significantly lower when wearing PPE, indicating that individuals wearing PPE preferred lower temperatures.

Effects of clothing size and air ventilation rate on cooling performance of air ventilation clothing in a warm condition

Jie Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of clothing size and air ventilation rate on the cooling performance of three air ventilation jackets. The results showed that both factors significantly influenced the dry heat loss and apparent evaporative resistance. Air ventilation greatly reduced core temperatures and mean skin temperatures, while clothing size had little impact on thermophysiological responses in high ventilation.

Experimental Investigation on Thermal Comfort of COVID-19 Nucleic Acid Sampling Staff in Hot and Humid Environment: A Pilot Study of University Students

Yingying Zhao et al.

Summary: The study conducted experimental research on the thermal comfort of medical staff wearing protective clothing in hot and humid environments, dividing the outdoor thermal environment into different working conditions based on the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index. Results showed the importance of cooling measures under higher temperature and humidity levels, highlighting the need to prioritize improving the thermal comfort of specific body locations such as the forehead, chest, and back. This early attempt at real outdoor experimental research provides a theoretical foundation for developing cooling strategies in hot and humid outdoor environments for protective clothing, benefiting the efficiency and health of medical personnel.

Planetary extravehicular activity (EVA) risk mitigation strategies for long-duration space missions

Blaze Belobrajdic et al.

Summary: Extravehicular activity (EVA) is one of the most dangerous activities in human space exploration, and it is crucial to identify and mitigate the risks and challenges associated with it. This review addresses the primary risks of EVAs and proposes strategies to mitigate these risks during planetary surface exploration. Further research and development in spacesuit design and operational strategies are necessary to enable safer and more efficient surface exploration activities in the future.

Summary: Research suggests that there are overlapping risk groups for heat waves and Covid-19, particularly the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. Healthcare facilities will face challenges during heat waves once again, requiring better protection for healthcare personnel from the heat, as well as revisions to prevention measures due to conflicting recommendations for heat health protection and Covid-19 protection.
