Management of military personnel in chemical protective clothing (CPC) is difficult. The purpose of this study was to test a 10 degrees C wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) adjustment for CPC. Five male subjects walked for 1 hour at 400 kcal/hour twice in a U.S. military CPC at a WBGT = 20 degrees C, and once without protective clothing (NoPC) in a WBGT = 30 degrees C followed by a 45 minute seated recovery. No significant differences (p > 0.1) were observed between CPC trials, nor between the mean of the CPC trials and NoPC for heart rate, sweat rate, or change in rectal or mean skin temperatures during the work or recovery phases. Correlations between mean CPC and NoPC were all greater than 0.68. These results suggest minimal differences in responses between CPC and NoPC when the WBGT difference equaled 10 degrees C.
管理穿着化学防护服(CPC)的军事人员颇具难度。本研究的目的是测试针对化学防护服的10摄氏度湿球黑球温度(WBGT)调整。五名男性受试者在美国军队化学防护服中,于湿球黑球温度为20摄氏度的环境下,以每小时400千卡的能量消耗步行1小时,共进行两次;之后在湿球黑球温度为30摄氏度的环境下,不穿防护服步行1小时,随后进行45分钟的坐姿恢复。在工作或恢复阶段,化学防护服试验之间,以及化学防护服试验平均值与未穿防护服试验之间,在心率、出汗率、直肠温度或平均皮肤温度变化方面均未观察到显著差异(p>0.1)。化学防护服试验平均值与未穿防护服试验之间的相关性均大于0.68。这些结果表明,当湿球黑球温度差值为10摄氏度时,穿着化学防护服和未穿防护服之间的反应差异极小。
