Physiological Effects of a Modification of the Construction of Impermeable Protective Clothing

Marszałek A., Bartkowiak G., Łężak K.

International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics

2009

Vol. 15, No. 1

61--73

This study was conducted to improve the construction of impermeable clothing protecting against liquid chemical agents in order to lower the thermal strain caused by the clothing during work. Previous studies indicated that light work in a hot environment in this kind of clothing could last 30 min only. We propose a modification of the construction; new models of protective clothing were tested in wear trials. Then the results were compared with a basic model of impermeable protective clothing. Results indicated that all new models of protective clothing allowed workers to work 39–64% longer than in a basic model of protective clothing. Thus new clothing significantly improved comfort of work in impermeable protective clothing because of the lower thermal strain that it imposed on the user.

The marine eustigmatophycean microalga Nannochloropsis (Monallantus) salina Hibberd was cultivated in a batch culture in the presence of various concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) of an aqueous extract of diesel fuel oil in order to assess the influence of the pollutant on the growth and certain physiological responses of the microalga. The growth data revealed a significant negative effect of the various pollutant concentrations on the algal cell number (p ? 0.05). However, at the mid-logarithmic growth phase (day 8), the algal cells were analysed for chlorophyll a, ?-glucan, amino acid pool, C/N ratio and elemental composition. According to our results, N. salina was significantly affected by the pollution with regard to the different physiological parameters examined, and this significance may be negative, positive or variable. The effect of the pollutant on cellular ?-glucan and the total amount of amino acids was negative; however, the composition of the cellular amino acid pool remained unaffected. A positive effect of the pollutant on cellular chl a and the C/N ratio was observed. In addition, the pollutant showed variable effects on the composition of different elements, as shown by energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. Also, an existence correlation between different elements was statistically reported.
