Heat exposure on farmers in northeast Ghana
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2016Environmental health hazards faced by farmers, such as exposure to extreme heat stress, are a growing concern due to global climate change, particularly in tropical developing countries. In such environments, farmers are considered to be a population at risk of environmental heat exposure.

Studies on vasodilatation in the hand on exposure to heat
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1978In five subjects whose hands were exposed to heat, no depletion in the plasma kininogen level was observed when vasodilatation occurred. This might be due to the admixture of arterial and venous blood following the opening of arterio-venous (A--V) anastomoses. The small rise obtained by warming was not significant (P greater than 0.1).

Benchmarking Heat Index as an occupational exposure limit for heat stress
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2019While wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is the long-accepted index to represent the environmental contributions to heat stress, Heat Index (HI) is a commonly reported index and is used for heat stress guidance. The purpose of this article was to propose an HI-based heat stress exposure limit.

Abbreviated guidelines for heat stress exposure
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1978A wide array of recommendations, rules and research results have been arregated into a simplified set of decision criteria for estimating threshold levels of heat stress. The WBGT is used as a basis, with appropriate modification for metabolic heat generated during work, velocity of air movement, state of acclimatization, amount of clothing (e.g ...

Reducing Heat Exposure in Phoenix
2021Temperatures vary across cities due to the urban heat island effect (UHI). Higher temperatures increase risks of heat-related illnesses and death, and disproportionately impact socioeconomically vulnerable populations. In my thesis, I explain what UHI is, how it is formed, who it most impacts, and how it can be mitigated.

Heat exposure in an enclosed automobile.
The Journal of the Louisiana State Medical Society : official organ of the Louisiana State Medical Society, 1996During July 1995, an infant in southeast Louisiana died as a result of heat exposure in an enclosed automobile. To evaluate degree of heat exposure in a vehicle, we compared the temperature rise inside an enclosed, dark-colored vehicle with the temperature rise in light-colored vehicle with the windows partly open.

[Fatalities caused by exposure to heat].
Archiv fur Kriminologie, 1998Between 1978 and 1987 52 cases of death by burning or in connection with fire (13 females and 39 males) were examined at the Institute of Legal Medicine of the Medical School of Hannover. The causes were fires in flats (25), cars (15) and buildings(4), clothes set on fire (3) and explosions (3). In two cases death was caused by scalding.
