Heat stress can lead to minor symptoms such as sleeplessness, fatigue and headaches [14,15] and more severe heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke [16]. Heat also increased mortality [[17], [18], [19], [20]]. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly, the ver...
These Classical Heat Stroke Criteria define three levels of HRI, rising from mild heat stress (perceived discomfort and physiological strain resulting from mild hyperthermia), to heat exhaustion (moderate illness including weakness, anxiety, fainting, headache and a core temperature that may be elevated...
Above this threshold, heat conditions become dangerous or extremely dangerous for at-risk groups (https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat-index) and heat disorders such as heat stroke and heat exhaustion become likely (NOAA, 1985; Fischer and Schar, 2010). AT105F is the threshold at which the ...
Heatstroke Heatstroke, also called sunstroke, is a life-threatening condition. If heat exhaustion is left unchecked, the body’s temperature control system will stop working. This includes the loss of the ability to sweat. The body temperature can increase so high that brain damage and death ca...
