Environmental ergonomics : the ergonomics of human comfort, health, and performance in the thermal environment /

Environmental Ergonomics addresses the problems of maintaining human comfort, activity and health in stressful environments. Its subject areas include thermal environments, illumination, noise and hypo- and hyperbaric environments. The book concentrates fundamentally on the way the thermal environme...
