Evaluation of adsorption of mercury vapor on various types of cloth.
Results of a research aimed at evaluating the degree of adsorption of mercury vapour, as opposed to mercury particles, on ordinary clothing. 14 types of cloth, including wool, cotton, synthetics and blends, were exposed to elemental mercury vapours and analyses performed. The quantities recovered are tabulated. The data indicate a maximum of 0.1-0.2µg/100cm2, equivalent to 20-40µg for a worker's clothing. Adsorption of mercury vapour on clothing is thus a negligible factor, and the requirement of special work clothing when exposure is confined to the vapour form provides no benefit to the worker.

Personal cooling with dry ice.
Description of a cooling garment containing dry ice under various test conditions, with the subject at rest. The evaporation rate of dry ice was calculated, and measurements were made of skin and rectal temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, sweat evaporation rate, and CO2 concentration measured at the chest (well below threshold limit value). Cooling efficiency depends on the initial amount and shape of the dry ice and insulation. The clothing tested provided cooling of about 79kcal/h.

Determination of the basic features required of protective clothing against liquid pesticides
Ustalenie podstawowych wymagań dla odzieży ochronnej przeznaczonej do prac związanych ze stosowaniem płynnych środków ochrony roślin [en polonés]
Study of the protective and mechanical properties of Impranil- and PVC-coated fabrics for the manufacture of protective clothing against liquid pesticides, the efficacy of decontamination methods and the physiological consequences of wearing garments made of these fabrics. Description of tests and results of observations of the body thermoregulatory system, the load on the circulatory system and the microclimate under the protective clothing. These tests were carried out on 10 tractor drivers spraying crops. On the basis of the results obtained the authors lay down certain recommended features for protective clothing for agricultural workers coming into contact with liquid pesticides. These fabrics can be borne in mind in studying new fabrics and in manufacturing protective clothing. Recommendations for care and use of the garments examined.

Determination of the basic qualities required of clothing for agricultural and forestry work, and drainage - Part 2: Hygienic and physiological evaluation of selected suits of protective work clothing
Ustalenie podstawowych wymagań dla odzieży stosowanej przy pracach rolnych, melioracyjnych i leśnych - Część 2: Ocena wybranych zestawów odzieży ochronnej z punktu widzenia higieny i fizjologii [en polonés]
The author describes the physiological effects of wearing impregnated (Ziram + melaphobe Z) and non-impregnated cotton work clothes. He measured the indices of thermoregulating processes and the load on the circulatory system of 10 students, using a bicycle ergometer, corresponding to the physical effort required of a group of forestry workers. The wearing of protective clothing did not result in any great increase in the physiological load. The author comes to the conclusion that there is no objection to forestry workers wearing these garments for the entire 8h working day.

Determination of the basic qualities required of clothing for agricultural and forestry work, and drainage - Part 1: Criteria to be met by protective clothing
Ustalenie podstawowych wymagań dla odzieży stosowanej przy pracach rolnych, melioracyjnych i leśnych - Część 1: Wymagania w zakresie właściwości użytkowych odzieży [en polonés]
The authors describe experimental impregnation against putrefaction and waterproofing processes carried out on several varieties of cotton fabrics, and tests carried out on garments made of each fabric, before and after wear. The results, summarised in tables, show that treatment with oak-bark tannin and melaphobe Z confers good resistance properties against microorganisms, the clothing still remaining extremely wash-resistant and retaining its suppleness and other mechanical qualities during many months of use. Waterproofing reduced the sensitivity of the fabrics to humidity but did not affect their hygroscopic qualities or air permeability. In conclusion, the authors lay down the specifications to be met by textile fabrics used for the manufacture of outdoor workers' clothing.

Thermal radiation protection by lateral heat dissipation - I: Small-scale laboratory study. II: Full-scale laboratory study.
Full-scale, high-intensity radiation exposures were carried out on 2 types of protective assemblies to evaluate the efficacy of lateral dissipation of incident radiation by a metallic scrim as a means of aircrew protection in thermonuclear warfare. The assemblies were standard flight overalls to which were applied patches of the experimental fabric, one type incorporating a metallic scrim, the other without a scrim. Temperature rises and radiation measurements were recorded for each experimental situation and the results indicate that the principle of lateral heat dissipation of incident radiant energy by means of a metalllic scrim is indeed effective.

Resistance of fire of Trevira-cotton work clothes
Das Brennverhalten von Arbeitskleidung aus Trevira/Baumwolle [en alemán]
The widespread belief that clothing made of a cotton-polyester mixture is less fire-resistant than pure cotton garments is disproved by laboratory tests: a Trevira-cotton mixture (65%-35%) was found to be optimal for work clothes. The findings of the tests show that there is no difference between pure cotton and the cotton-polyester mixture as regards flammability, propagation of fire and gas and smoke emission.

Objective approach to a design of a whole-body, water-cooled suit.
It is known that cooling of only part of the body surface area results in a substantial removal of body heat. In an attempt to plan an efficient whole-body water-cooled suit, a comparison was made of the effects of cooling 10 different body regions by circulating water. The results are proposed as a basis for the design of such a suit in which the head and upper extremities would receive 15% of the tubing each, while the torso and lower extremities would receive 38% and 32% of tubing, respectively.

Assessment of the usefulness of protective clothing for workers in contact with powdered mineral fertilisers
Ocena przydatności odzieży pyłoochronnej do prac z pylistymi nawozami mineralnymi [en polonés]
For the purposes of this assessment, the authors investigated the properties of several types of material, the efficiency of methods (beating and washing) for the removal of the dust deposited on the surface of these materials, the effects of the quantity of dust deposited and of washing on their imperviousness and air permeability, as well as the physiological consequences of wearing protective clothing made of one of the materials examined. A detailed account is given of the tests carried out and of checks of the thermoregulatory processes and of stress on the circulatory system performed in the laboratory on 10 subjects tested on a bicycle ergometer. The increase in the quantities measured was found to be significant; nevertheless, not even the largest deviations exceeded the organism's capacity. Conclusions are drawn from this regarding the manufacture of the tested clothing, as well as on the duration of work and rest periods for wearers of this type of clothing.

Work clothes made of synthetic fibres
Arbeidstřy av syntetisk rĺstoff [en noruego]
The author, a Norwegian factory inspector, had to examine 2 solvent explosions in which workers wearing synthetic-fibre garments were burnt more severely than persons who wore cotton clothing. After considering the problem of flame-retardant impregnation (the flame-retardant is gradually washed out and does not protedct from melting), the significance of prohibiting the use of synthetic-fibre garments, he recommends that no such garments should be worn when working with open flames, in filling stations, motor-vehicle repair shops, laboratories, chemical plants, etc. He finally deals with the problem of static electricity in synthetic-fibre garments and with the danger of using oxygen for "air sweetening".

Climatic working conditions in ventilated clothing
Conditions climatiques de travail en vętement ventilé [en francés]
A report on research to determine the climatic conditions, during various types of work, inside a pressurised suit commonly used at the Saclay Nuclear Research Centre in France. Following a brief review of the physical phenomena involved in the production and elimination of metabolic heat in the human body, the authors consider heat dissipation by convection, radiation and sweat evaporation. By means of equations, the authors have produced nomograms showing a heat-stress index for a man in a ventilated suit in given working conditions and with a given ventilation flowrate. The nomograms agree with the results of experiments reported in the literature.
