| Abstract |
Data obtained from field observations of body heat exchange in miners doing moderately arduous work. It was found that cold work in a low relative-humidity atmosphere is linked with considerable heat loss through skin and respiratory evaporation; to these losses should be added those resulting from the warming of inspired air. To maintain the body's thermal equilibrium, it is necessary to reduce convective and radiant heat loss from skin by the use of suitable protective clothing. |
