EFFECTS OF WEARING FLAMEPROOFED CLOTHING IN HOT ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

The study was carried out to determine (1) the heat load imposed by these two types of flameproofed garments and (2) the general acceptability of the clothing. The garments were worn by acclimatized subjects working in a hot environment simulating that which may be found in buttoned-up tanks (D.B. 120F. - 88F.).
