PREFACE:
This edited volume contains the papers presented at the 12 th International Conference
on Environmental Ergonomics held in Piran, Slovenia, August 2007. The conference
was divided into six symposia, each of which were comprised of oral and poster
sessions, and covering specific topics under the general theme of humans working
under environmental extremes. As such, this conference covers topics related to
human physiology during exercise and work, personal protective equipment,
mathematical modelling and exposure simulations (e.g. thermal manikin). The
contents of this volume are arranged according to these symposia. A special volume
of the European Journal of Applied Physiology has also been dedicated to selected
papers from this conference.
