About this study

This research will recruit 14-20 volunteers. During 8 hours each subject will perform their work using protective costume. Heart rate, electrocardiogram, oxygenation, skin and air temperature under costume and hygrometric data will be registered. Also there will be questionnaires for volunteers for subjective assessment of thermal and moisture sensations and assessment of working conditions.
