Existing methods for estimating heat stress, enshrined in British/International Standards (the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index [BS EN 27243] and the Required Sweat Rate equation [BS EN 12515; ISO 7933 modi®ed]), assume that the clothing worn by the individual is water vapour permeable; the WBGT index also assumes that the clothing is relatively light. Because most forms of personal prot...

Abstract. Climate models' outputs are affected by biases that need to be detected and adjusted model climate impacts. Many hazards climate-related impacts associated with the interaction between multiple drivers, i.e. compound events. So far typically assessed based on hazard of interest, it is unclear how much a potential bias in dependence drivers contributes overall interact. Here, copula th...

Background:Thermal stress may have numerous harmful effects on human health. This study aimed at investigating thermal stress in the city of Kerman, Iran. Methods:In this descriptive-analytical study, thermal stress was assessed from 6 AM to 9 PM in 2016 using four thermal stress indices including wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), environmental stress index (...

original article   the objectives of this research were to study the correlations of heat strain score index (hssi) and values of wet-bulb globe temperature (wbgt) index with physiological parameters such as core body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure of workers exposed to heat stress in a glass manufacturing plant in order to determine the reliability of hssi. this cross sectional st...

Background: Climate change is one of the most complex human challenges in future. One consequences climate exposure people to heat stress, especially outdoor environments. The aim this study was model changes trend stress environments coming decades context and global warming. Methods: Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index, Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM2), Statistical Down Scaling (SDSM...
