Our primary objective in this study was to design and implement the FAME Lab PHS
Calculator software (PHSFL)(www. famelab. gr/research/downloads), a free tool to calculate …

Heat stress is a deadly occupational hazard that is projected to increase in severity with
global warming. While upper limits for heat stress designed to protect all workers have been …

ABSTRACT Purpose: The American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists
(ACGIH®) Threshold Limit Values (TLV® guidelines) for work in the heat consist of work-rest …

Purpose Prolonged work in the heat may exacerbate the rise in core temperature on the next
work day, especially in older workers who display impairments in whole-body heat loss that …

Purpose: In this article, we evaluated physiological strain in electrical utilities workers during
consecutive work shifts in hot outdoor conditions. Methods: Four highly experienced …

The projected rise in the frequency and intensity of extreme heat conditions associated with
global climate change represent the greatest threat to human health of the twenty-first …

Sugarcane cutters are vulnerable to extreme heat and are at risk for heat-related illness and
chronic kidney disease, potentially due to high heat strain. We performed a comprehensive …

Background: Mechanisms linking occupational heat exposure with chronic diseases have
been proposed. However, evidence on occupational heat exposure and cancer risk is …

We evaluated the extent to which age, cardiorespiratory fitness, and body fat can
independently determine whole-body heat loss (WBHL) in 87 otherwise healthy adults. We …

Background To limit exposures to occupational heat stress, leading occupational health and
safety organizations recommend work–rest regimens to prevent core temperature from …
