文摘

Individuals operating in chemical/biological protective garments are likely to experience high levels of physiological strain. Non-invasive and practical methods of predicting physiological strain are needed. Thermal comfort does not improve the ability of the perceptual strain index to predict physiological strain. Rating of perceived exertion provided an accurate prediction of physiological strain under these work conditions.
