MOPP 4 (Mission Oriented Protective Posture) gear can increase ambient air temperatures by approximately 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit (about 5 to 11 degrees Celsius) due to its insulating properties and limited ventilation. The added heat can lead to heat stress, especially in warm environments. Additionally, wearing an apron may also contribute to the overall heat increase, but specific temperature changes can vary based on material and environmental conditions.
