Tóm tắt

 Violation of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) heat stress recommendations by exceeding the allowable wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) for a given work intensity and work-rest ratio augments acute kidney injury (AKI) risk. Here, we tested the hypothesis that exceeding the allowable work intensity at a given WBGT and work-rest ratio would also worsen AKI risk. Twelve healthy adults completed two NIOSH recommendation compliant trials and one noncompliant trial consisting of a 4 h (half workday) exposure. Work-rest ratio was fixed at 30 min of walking and 30 min of rest each hour. Work intensity (metabolic heat production) was prescribed as a function of WBGT-412 ± 51 W [27.3 ± 0.3°C
