an investigation of the relationship of perceptual strain index with indices of heat strain score, wet-bulb globe temperature, and air temperature under hot laboratory conditions
background : in many jobs, individuals are exposed to thermal stress, and thus, evaluation of heat stress is necessary. this study was conducted with the purpose of investigating the relationship of perceptual strain index (pesi) with other heat indexes under hot laboratory conditions. methods: this empirical-experimental and cross-sectional study was performed in 5 different temperatures (21 º...
متن کاملA physiological strain index to evaluate heat stress.
A physiological strain index (PSI), based on rectal temperature (Tre) and heart rate (HR), capable of indicating heat strain online and analyzing existing databases, has been developed. The index rates the physiological strain on a universal scale of 0-10. It was assumed that the maximal Tre and HR rise during exposure to exercise heat stress from normothermia to hyperthermia was 3°C (36.5-39.5...
متن کاملeffects of work clothing material on physiological strain index of men in hot conditions in the climatic chamber
background: work clothing can limit heat exchange between humans and the environment and cause thermal strain and heat-related disorders in workers. it can thus reduce both efficiency and productivity. the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of work clothing material on physiological strain index (psi) in climatic chamber. methods: an interventional study was conducted on 18 male s...
متن کاملa survey of the relationship of heat strain scoring index and wet bulb globe temperature index with physiological strain index among men in hot work environments
background: heat stress is a common and usual problem in industries. several indices, including wet bulb globe temperature (wbgt), are used to evaluate heat stress. however, wbgt index has limitations such as high cost and response time. it is not thus suitable as a screening tool. heat strain scoring index (hssi) is also an observational-judgmental technique that has been developed for primary...
متن کاملthe effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)
cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
