Insulation and Evaporative Resistance of Clothing for Sugarcane Harvesters and Chemical Sprayers, and their Application in PHS Model-Based Exposure Predictions

Many workers are exposed to heat stress that can be exacerbated by the type of clothing they wear. The resulted heat strain can lead to short or long-term heat-related disorders. This study aimed to measure clothing properties of sugarcane field workers and evaluate the heat strain by an internation...
