TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidance on hazard identification, exposure assessment, exposure response relationships and risk estimation for assessing the effects of traffic noise on sleep, based on the current literature.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the non-evaporative components of the reduced thermal insulation of wet clothing and found that the increase in heat loss caused by a wet layer kept away from the skin was small (5–6 W m-2), irrespective of the inner underwear layer being dry or wetted, i.e. evaporative cooling efficiency was far below unity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the validity of the predicted heat strain (PHS) model with respect to gender, particularly in relation to the estimation of admissible exposure durations for work in hot environments.

TL;DR: The predicted heat strain model was developed and presently proposed as an ISO and CEN standard and an "expert" method for in-depth analysis of the working situation when needed was developed.

TL;DR: The weight of the SCBA was shown to be less important than its distribution and was executed faster with the rucksack device, heart rates were then lower and the carrying features were evaluated as better.
