Abstract |
Microclimate measurements were made in underground potassium mines at temperatures of 7-9°C and during cold-chamber experiments to determine the thermal insulation properties of working clothes under simulated working conditions. The thermal insulation of conventional miners' clothing was inadequate; tests were carried out with jackets lined with 5-6mm foam plastics; heat transfer resistance was virtually doubled. |
