To evaluate the adverse effects on personal protective equipment (PPE) wearers, this study measured mood state, subjective thermal comfort indicators, health-related reactions and cognitive ability in a precisely controlled climate chamber. Wearing PPE could increase mean total disturbance (TMD) score from −7.45 to −4.4 ( p = 0.008) that would significantly worsen state even cause some symptoms, including high rate of perceived exertion, decreased concentration, sleepiness, fatigue, chest tightness, dizziness, thirst air quality. The wearers be more affected by heat than humidity under comfortable conditions. Increasing activity intensity slightly reduce abilities learning memory (10.8 vs. 9.8, 0026) attention (2.88 2.69, 0.016), but expression (11.2 12.2, 0.028). However, wearing for light intensities did not affect ability. quality showed moderate positive correlation ρ 0.43, < 0.050). findings obtained have increased our understanding associated with thus contributing improved occupational health product
