Effect of PACAP on Heat Exposure

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Heat stroke is a life-threatening illness caused by exposure to high ambient temperatures and relative humidity. The incidence of heat stroke is expected to increase due to climate change. Although pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) has been implicated in thermoregulation, the role of PACAP on heat stress remains unclear.

Wage Differentials between Heat-Exposure Risk and No Heat-Exposure Risk Groups [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2017
The goal of this study is to investigate the wage differential between groups of workers who are exposed to heat and those who are not. Workers in the heat-exposure risk group are defined as workers who work in conditions that cause them to spend more than 25% of their work hours at high temperatures.

Occupational heat exposure and male fertility: a review [PDF]

Human Reproduction, 1998
In humans, as in most mammals, spermatogenesis is temperature dependent. This temperature dependence has been clearly demonstrated by several experimental studies showing that artificial increases in scrotum or testicle temperature in fertile men reduce both sperm output and quality.

High survival following bleaching underscores the resilience of a frequently disturbed region of the Great Barrier Reef

Ecosphere, 2023
Natural bleaching events provide an opportunity to examine how local‐scale environmental variation influences bleaching severity and recovery. During the 2020 marine heat wave, we documented widespread and severe coral bleaching affecting 75%–98% of ...

Exposure to heat at work: development of a quantitative European job exposure matrix (heat JEM) [PDF]

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health
OBJECTIVE: With climate change exacerbating occupational heat stress, objective and systematic exposure assessment is essential for epidemiological studies. We developed a job exposure matrix (JEM) to assign occupational heat stress exposure across Europe.
