Evaporative microclimate interval cooling reduces heat stress in thermal insulating protective clothing
Interval heat evaporation during rests periods with the microclimate cooling method DAC was shown to be effective in preventing body heat accumulation during alternating work-rest cycles. The method can improve occupational health and safety of men working in thermal protective clothing.
