The Automobile and Heat Stress

Pediatrics, 1976
This study suggests that the thermal burden of poorly ventilated parked automobiles can be considerable, particularly when the automobiles are exposed to direct sunlight. Leaving the windows open two inches does not appear to be protective. The practice of exposing infants and toddlers to such thermal risk appears to be common and the ...

Exertional Heat Stress Disease

Acta Clinica Belgica, 1983
SummaryDuring sporting events that took place under weather conditions unusual for our country, the authors observed 5 cases of exertional heat exhaustion and 4 cases of exertional heat stroke, one of which was fatal. The clinical pictures and the main biological values are summarized.

Heat stress and acclimation

Ergonomics, 1994
Heat stress reduces the capability for sustained exercise. On the other hand, with repeated exposures to hot environments, exhaustion is delayed. This paper examines the hypothesis that high core temperature might be the ultimate cause of the fatigue and inability to continue to exercise in hot dry environmental conditions.

Estimation of heat stress in Tanzania by using ISO heat stress indices

Applied Ergonomics, 1992
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of the ISO heat stress standards in estimating the heat stress and strain in workplaces in Tanzania. Another aim was to select and to develop simplified methods for measuring physiological parameters in developing countries. The methods were tested in four hot factories and at a construction site.

Respiration in heat stressed camels

Respiration Physiology, 1987
Respiration and heat exchange in relation to brain temperature (Th) and body temperature (Tb) were investigated in four heat stressed camels subjected daily to high temperature (47 degrees C) in a climate chamber while resting when hydrated and dehydrated by approximately 10%, 15% and 20% of initial weight.

Comparison of Heat Stress Indices

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1971
Temperature, humidity and radiant heat in an environmental test room were varied over wide limits while five heat stress indices were measured simultaneously: Effective Temperature, Effective Temperature Corrected for Radiation, Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, Heat Stress Index, and Wet Globe Temperature. Regression equations based on 34 tests for the five

Heat stress lipids and schizophrenia

Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, 1996
The neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia implicates abnormal or disrupted neural growth during embryogenesis. It is postulated here that stress-inducing agents acting upon a compromised cellular system resulting from abnormal plasma membrane lipids could effect the neuronal abnormalities observed in schizophrenia.

Climate change and heat stress

Occupational Medicine
Climate change is increasing the incidences of extreme weather. Record high temperatures are being experienced more frequently and for extended periods. Subsequently, there is an increased risk of occupational exposures resulting in heat-related illnesses, both acute and chronic.
