Impact of Different Personal Protective Clothing on Wildland Firefighters' Physiological Strain

Impact of Different Personal Protective Clothing on Wildland Firefighters' Physiological Strain

Wildfire firefighting is an extremely demanding occupation performed under hot environment. The use of personal protective clothing (PPC) is needed to protect subjects from the thermal exposure. However, the additional use of PPC may increase the wildland firefighters' physiological strain, and...
