2001 journal article

Thermal protective uniforms and hoods: impact of design modification and water content on burn prevention in new york city firefighters: Laboratory and field results

IP Online: Injury Prevention, 7, 43–49.

By: D. Prezant*, K. Malley, R. Barker n, C. Guerth-Schacher & K. Kelly

MeSH headings : Burns / etiology; Burns / mortality; Burns / prevention & control; Consumer Product Safety; Female; Fires; Guidelines as Topic; Humans; Injury Severity Score; Male; New York City; Occupational Health; Primary Prevention / methods; Protective Clothing / standards; Risk Assessment; Sensitivity and Specificity; Survival Rate
TL;DR: Thermal protection was dramatically improved by the hood with protection increasing as water content increased and not significantly different between modern and modified modern uniforms, regardless of water content. (via Semantic Scholar)

2001 journal article

The impact of protective hoods and their water content on the prevention of head burns in New York City firefighters: Laboratory tests and field results

JOURNAL OF BURN CARE & REHABILITATION, 22(2), 165–178.

By: D. Prezant*, R. Barker n, J. Stull*, S. King*, R. Rotanz*, K. Malley*, M. Bender n, C. Guerth n, K. Kelly*

MeSH headings : Burns / epidemiology; Burns / prevention & control; Chi-Square Distribution; Fires; Head; Humans; Injury Severity Score; Male; New York City / epidemiology; Occupational Diseases / epidemiology; Occupational Diseases / prevention & control; Protective Clothing; Risk Factors; Statistics, Nonparametric; Water / analysis
TL;DR: Based on combined laboratory and field results, the effectiveness of hoods in reducing head burns and whether hood water content affects the level of thermal protection are strongly recommended. (via Semantic Scholar)
