Thermal comfort research
Article Abstract:
A research project is looking for employers to participate in its study of occupational thermal comfort because of dissatisfaction with the current criteria, which are thought not to relate to real conditions. The Building Services Research Information Association study will gather data on individuals' perceptions of levels of thermal comfort as recorded on their personal computers. The study will produce new criteria based on real conditions which should ultimately lead to better environmental engineering.

Sheep dip research published
Article Abstract:
The Health and Safety Executive has commissioned research into the long-term health effects of exposure to organophosphorus (OP) sheep dips due to concerns over possible chronic neuropsychological and neurological effects. It found that users of OP dips do not perform as well on recognised tests of reasoning and attention spans. OP dips can cause acute ill health effects if proper precautions are not taken, and many of those tested had not taken proper precautions.
