DOI: 10.1029/2021gh000527
Abstract: Hot and humid heat exposures challenge the health of outdoor workers engaged in occupations such as construction, agriculture, first response, manufacturing, military, or resource extraction. Therefore, government institutes developed guidelines to prevent heat‐related illnesses and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2024gh001068
Abstract: Wet‐bulb globe temperature (WBGT)—a standard measure for workplace heat stress regulation—incorporates the complex, nonlinear interaction among temperature, humidity, wind and radiation. This complexity requires WBGT to be calculated iteratively following the recommended approach developed by… read more here.
