The influence of the passive evaporative cooling vest on a chemical industry workers and physiological strain level in hot conditions
The present study was conducted in order to evaluate efficiency of a personal body cooling system based on passive evaporative technologies and its effects on test subjects psycho-physiological suitability during exertional heat stress in hot environment. Performed results are based on cond...

| description | The present study was conducted in order to evaluate efficiency of a personal
body cooling system based on passive evaporative technologies and its effects
on test subjects psycho-physiological suitability during exertional heat
stress in hot environment. Performed results are based on conducted tests in
climatic chamber in the Military Medical Academy Institute of Hygiene in
Belgrade. Ten male test subjects were subjected to exertional heat stress
test consisted of walking on motorized treadmill at a speed of 5 km/h in hot
environment. Tests were performed with and without cooling system. As a
physiological strain indicator the following parameters have been determined:
mean skin temperature, tympanic temperature, heart rate and sweat rate.
Results confirmed that cooling vest worn over the clothes was able to
attenuate the physiological strain levels during exercise, when compared to
identical exposure without the cooling system. |
