Evaluating Heat Risk: Comparing On‐Site WBGT Measurements Versus Smartphone Application Estimates

Evaluating Heat Risk: Comparing On‐Site WBGT Measurements Versus Smartphone Application Estimates

Abstract Exertional heat illness poses a significant risk for workers, athletes, and military personnel participating in outdoor activities during hot weather. An important component of heat safety is to monitor environmental conditions through heat stress indices like the wet bulb globe temperature...
