Abstract
The aim of study intends to investigate the physiological response wearing fire chemical protective clothing and to provide the basic data for the safety of firefighter. The results of the study are as follows; After firefighters(n=10; age 31.2) performed workload of 9 METs(6 km/h, 10%) in WBGT $20^{\circ}C$(Globe Temperature $22.0^{\circ}C$, dry bulb temperature of $21.6^{\circ}C$, relative humidity 77.2%) during 20minute. After experiments, mean skin temperature(9.9%), tympanic temperature change(4.2%), heart rate(112.3%), RPE(65.4%), thermal Sensation(87.1%), weight loss(0.7%), glucose(17.6%) and lactate(533.3%) are statistically significantly higher by wearing fire chemical protective clothing. It is concluded that physiological responses of human body varied considerably and reflected by wearing fire chemical protective clothing.
