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.
