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.

본 연구는 소방용 화학보호복 착용시 신체에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 소방공무원의 안전을 위한 기초자료 제공을 목적으로 한다. 실험온도 WBGT $20^{\circ}C$(흑구온도 $22.0^{\circ}C$, 건구온도 $21.6^{\circ}C$, 습도 77.2%)에서 작업강도 9 METs(6 km/h, 10%)로 소방공무원(10명; 31.2세)을 대상으로 20분 동안 소방용 화학보호복을 착용한 후 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 소방용 화학보호복을 착용한 경우에서 평균피부 온도차(9.9%), 고막온도차(4.2%), 심박수(112.3%), 운동자각도(65.4%), 온냉감(87.1%), 체중감소(0.7%), 혈당(17.6%)과 젖산(533.3%)이 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났으며, 이상의 결과 소방용 화학보호복 착용이 신체에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 연구되었다.
