Abstract The radiation protection guide (RPG) number of 10 mW/cm² is generally accepted for normal
environmental conditions. For conditions of moderate to severe heat stress,
the guide number should be appropriately reduced. A proposal to reduce the
guide number 1 mW/cm² for every temperature-humidity-index THI) point above
70 (until 1 mW/cm2 is reached) is examined in terms of heat stress. |
