Development of the equivalent air temperature index (EATI) among male workers under hot and dry and hot and humid climatic conditions
The study confirms that the equivalent air temperature index can effectively evaluate thermal strain by considering radiant temperature, humidity, wind speed, and estimated metabolic rate and clothing insulation. This index appears valid for both hot and dry regions as well as hot and humid regions.
