Can simple changes shield outdoor workers from climate dangers?
NCT ID NCT07634952
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining simple behavioral tips (like taking breaks in the shade) with indoor air cleaners can lower outdoor workers' exposure to heat and air pollution. About 102 healthy outdoor workers in Spain and Greece will wear sensors and provide samples over three months. The goal is to see if these measures reduce heat strain and improve health.
