Validation and adjustment of the mathematical prediction model for human rectal temperature responses to outdoor environmental conditions

Article Abstract:

The mathematical prediction model for human rectal temperature responses to outdoor environmental conditions was tested and corrections were made to the model. The corrected model overestimated rectal temperatures outdoors and it was suggested that radiative and convective heat exchanges should be treated separately in outdoor conditions. An adjusted model for outdoor conditions is discussed.

Reproducibility of body temperature response to standardized test conditions when assessing clothing

Article Abstract:

The technique of measuring core body temperatures to assess heat stress produced by wearing clothes during exercising at different temperatures may lead to wrong conclusions. The method gave correct results for the mean values but the results could not be reproduced for the individuals studied. Failure of these measurements to reveal differences in the types of clothing used is discussed.

Prediction of rectal temperature from ear canal temperature

Article Abstract:

A method for controlling environmental influences on aural temperature to make it correlate with rectal temperature is examined. When workers are working in un-permeable protective clothing it is essential to measure body temperature to prevent heat exhaustion. The rectal temperature is the best indicator, but is difficult to manage.
