Survey of relationship between skin moisture content and temperature humidity for indoor occupants

Abstract

In oitler to clanf3i the influence of indoor tempenture and humidity on the change in skin moisture content in daily hfe, surveys of skin moisture content of students engaging in sedentary works in a standard room in a university were conducted fium autumn to winter for two years. It was shown that the indoor hygmthemal pammeters (air tempenture, relative humidity absolute humidity) positively correlated with the skin moisture content and that the correlation coefficient with absolute humidity was the highest among the three pammeters. At the same time, it was found that the daily fluctuation of skin moisture content followed the fluctuation of indoor absolute humidity. Fora subject who was involved in the surveys fortwo years, the relationship between skin moisture content and indoor absolute humidity was found to be consistent Rum these results, it was shown that in ordinaiy daily life, the indoor absolute humidity has the sfronger influence on the skin moisture content than indoor air tempentuxe and relative humidity.
