Experimental Treatment
Group I: Experimental: Very hot and dryExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects will be exposed to 3 hours in a climate chamber set to approximately 47 deg C and 15% relative humidity, which reflects a very hot and dry heat wave condition similar to the 2018 Los Angeles heat wave. Two visits will be required to complete this arm, with one visit including water spray for cooling.
Group II: Experimental: Hot and humidExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects will be exposed to 3 hours in a climate chamber set to approximately 41 deg C and 40% relative humidity, which reflects hot and humid heat wave similar to the 1995 Chicago heat wave. Two visits will be required to complete this arm, with one visit including water spray for cooling.
