Dyslipidemia in industrial workers in hot environments.
The aim of the study was to follow the rate and manifestation of dyslipidemia in industrial workers exposed to heat. One hundred and two male industrial workers exposed to heat and a control group of 102 male workers were studied. The microclimate components were followed and Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) was calculated. The mean WGBT was 35.4 degrees C (28.4-41.7 degrees C) for the studied...
متن کاملShould Workers Avoid Consumption of Chilled Fluids in a Hot and Humid Climate?
Despite provision of drinking water as the most common method of occupational heat stress prevention, there remains confusion in hydration messaging to workers. During work site interactions in a hot and humid climate, workers commonly report being informed to consume tepid fluids to accelerate rehydration. When questioned on the evidence supporting such advice, workers typically cite that flui...
متن کاملPre-pubertal children and exercise in hot and humid environments: a brief review.
The ability of pre-pubertal children to regulate their body temperature under thermoneutral environments is similar to that of an adult albeit via differing routes. However, this ability is challenged when exposed to extreme environments. Thermoregulatory responses of pre-pubertal children differ from adults via adaptations that occur during growth and maturation and disadvantage children when ...
متن کاملApplication of a trapezoidal fuzzy AHP method for work safety evaluation and early warning rating of hot and humid environments
Hot and humid environments are prevalent in many industries. People working in hot and humid environments are at great risk of specific heat-related disorders, the productivity decrease and safety problems. In order to guarantee workers’ health and safety, safety evaluation and early warning rating of the hot and humid environments are studied in this paper. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process...
متن کاملCardiac Strain between Normal Weight and Overweight Workers in Hot/Humid Weather in the Persian Gulf
BACKGROUND In hot weather, overweight and obesity are considered as significant risk factors for the incidence of cardiac strain in workers. This study was aimed to compare cardiac strain among overweight and normal-weight workers in hot, humid conditions in the south of Iran. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 71 workers in the south of Iran in summer 2010. The heart rate wa...
