Combined effects of working environmental conditions in VDT work
Article Abstract:
Research about the causes of fatigue when people use video monitors for their work show high levels of city noise and luminance significantly affected mental activity and subjective fatigue. Visual reaction tests, heart rate, critical flicker fusion frequency, and lymphocyte subsets were used to derive this result.

Tympanic temperature and heart rate changes in firefighters during treadmill runs performed with different fireproof jackets
Article Abstract:
Firefighters subjected to treadmill tests while wearing various protective jackets responded differently. Textile jackets caused fewer changes in heart rate and tympanic temperature than the leather jacket, and two textile jackets were best at limiting hyperthermia.
