Cardiovascular and Thermal Strain during Manual Work in Cold Weather
In some occupations it is hard to protect the hands against the severe weather conditions in wintertime due to the requirement to maintain manual dexterity. Decrease in temperature of the hands increases risk of cold injury and deteriorates muscle function and manual dexterity, which in turn decreases productivity. A series of field and lab studies were performed to investigate cold stress and ...

aims: air is the combination of atmospheric components or physical conditions of the current atmosphere in a certain place and a certain time. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between weather components, air atmospheric pollutants and the number of individuals that were hospitalized due to cardiovascular diseases in polluted days. instrument & methods: in this descriptive st...
متن کاملEffect of Antifreeze Admixtures on Cold Weather Concrete
Kashmir is located in a region where winter temperatures are very low. During the winter months, the temperature in Kashmir is often below 0⁰ C. Generally concrete placed in colder regions with the help of insulated forms as well as heaters to protect freshly mixed concrete against freezing. These practices try to incorporate unnecessary carbon and leads to an disagreeable carbon footprint. The...
متن کاملEvaluating physiological strain during cold exposure using a new cold strain index.
A cold strain index (CSI) based on core (Tcore) and mean skin temperatures (T sk) and capable of indicating cold strain in real time and analyzing existing databases has been developed. This index rates cold strain on a universal scale of 0-10 and is as follows: CSI = 6.67(Tcoret - Tcore 0) ⋅ (35 - Tcore 0)-1 + 3.33(T sk t -T sk 0) ⋅ (20 -T sk 0)-1, where Tcore 0 andT sk 0are initial measuremen...
متن کاملThermoregulation during cold exposure after several days of exhaustive exercise.
This study examined the hypothesis that several days of exhaustive exercise would impair thermoregulatory effector responses to cold exposure, leading to an accentuated core temperature reduction compared with exposure of the same individual to cold in a rested condition. Thirteen men (10 experimental and 3 control) performed a cold-wet walk (CW) for up to 6 h (6 rest-work cycles, each 1 h in d...
