Thermal stress from extreme temperatures impacts health and productivity. This review covers environmental factors, physiological adaptations, illnesses, and protective measures for heat and cold stress.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Occupational Medicine
  • Human Physiology

Background:

  • Thermal stress, encompassing both heat and cold, poses significant risks to human health and workplace productivity.
  • Health implications are often concentrated in extreme temperature zones but are also influenced by physical workload.
  • Understanding these factors is crucial for mitigating adverse effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review environmental factors contributing to thermal stress.
  • To examine the physiological adaptations individuals undergo in response to thermal challenges.
  • To detail heat and cold-related illnesses, their therapies, and relevant standards.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of environmental factors, thermoregulation, and heat/cold illnesses.
