Thermal sensations of secondary school children in summer

J Hyg (Lond). 1973 Sep;71(3):453-8. doi: 10.1017/s002217240004643x.

Abstract

Summer thermal sensations of secondary schoolchildren in England are compared with those earlier published for winter. Heat stress, contrary to expectation, is seen to decrease during the warm months, and neutrality is found to increase by some 6 degrees F. (3.5 degrees C.) air temperature, which is more than double the increases observed for adults under similar circumstances.
