摘要: Introduction A significant number of healthcare workers have responded to aid in the relief and containment 2013 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak West Africa. Healthcare are required wear personal protective clothing (PPC) impede transmission virus; however, impermeable design hot humid environment lead risk heat stress. Objective Provide quantitative modeling analysis prevention stress while wearing PPC Africa. Methods sweating thermal manikin was used measure (Rct) evaporative resistance (Ret) five currently levels for Africa EVD response. Mathematical methods predicting rise core body temperature (Tc) response clothing, activity, simulate different responses levels, individual sizes, two conditions: morning/evening (air temperature: 25°C, relative humidity: 40%, mean radiant 35°C, wind velocity: 1 m/s) mid-day (30°C, 60%, 70°C, m/s). Results Nearly still air (0.4 measures Rct ranged from 0.18 0.26 m2 K/W Ret 25.53 340.26 Pa/W. Conclusion Biophysical assessments this study provide guidance responding
