Table 4 Thermal stress assessment scale for children based on UTCI (a sensation obtained through linear regression).
Thermal stress | TSV | UTCI (℃) | UTCI, children(℃) |
|---|---|---|---|
Extreme cold stress | <-4.5 | <-40 | <-50.0a |
Very strong cold stress | -4.5—-3.5 | -40—-27 | -50.0—-35.5 a |
Strong cold stress | -3.5—-2.5 | -27—-13 | -35.5—-21.0 a |
Moderate cold stress | -2.5—-1.5 | -13—0 | -21.0—-6.5 a |
Slight cold stress | -1.5—-0.5 | 0—9 | -6.5—7.9 a |
No thermal stress | -0.5—0.5 | 9—26 | 7.9—22.4 |
Moderate heat stress | 0.5—2.5 | 26—32 | 22.4—51.4a |
Strong heat stress | 2.5—3.5 | 32—38 | 51.4—65.9 a |
Very strong heat stress | 3.5—4.5 | 38—46 | 65.9—80.4 a |
Extreme heat stress | > 4.5 | > 46 | > 80.4 a |
