Estimated daily dose at approximate peak excretion (12 h post heat/wear time)

Daily dose estimate (μg/kg/day) geometric mean (range)
Group 1 (n = 9)a 6.88 (3.31–10.01)
Group 2 (n = 8) 2.60 (0.02–8.49)
Group 3 (n = 6)a 3.33 (2.62–4.43)
Group 4 (n = 8) 2.81 (0.99–4.97)

Groups 1 and 3 (operational/expeditionary: 33 h continuous uniform wear):

Group 1: in simulated hot environment (35 °C, 40% rh)

Group 3: in comparison, ambient environment (average conditions 3 °C, 80% rh)

Groups 2 and 4 (garrison: 3 day, 8 h/day uniform wear)

Group 2: in simulated hot environment (35 °C, 40% rh)

Group 4: in comparison, ambient environment (average conditions 13 °C, 60% rh)
