Introduction: In this study we (i) introduced time-motion analysis for assessing the impact of workplace heat on the work shift time spent doing labor (WTL) of grape-picking workers, (ii) examined whether seasonal environmental differences can influence their WTL, and (iii) investigated whether their WTL can be assessed by monitoring productivity or the vineyard manager's estimate of WTL. Metho...

UTCI, although it was developed with the participation of scientists from 22 countries, has shortcomings and people using face various obstacles. The difficulties include wide range issues: different availability meteorological data in individual through kind air temperature which should be properly used calculations, or need recalculation wind speed. However biggest subject concern algorithms ...

While rapid urbanization promotes social and economic development, it exacerbates human outdoor thermal comfort, which increases the risks to health. This paper uses four comfort indices multiple satellite observations explore effect on summer heat stress in Guangdong from 1979–2018, a coastal province of China. Two types index are used here, namely direct (Heat Index, HI; Temperature–Humidity ...

the present study compared simple thermal indices and the indices derived from energy budget models in the northwest of iran. for this purpose, the air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, cloud, cover and wind speed of 13 meteorological stations in the northwest of iran during the  the period of 1986 to 2007 were selected for comparison. the results which were extracted using biokl...

BACKGROUND Urban populations are highly vulnerable to the adverse effects of heat, with heat-related mortality showing intra-urban variations that are likely due to differences in urban characteristics and socioeconomic status. OBJECTIVES We investigated the influence of urban green and urban blue, that is, urban vegetation and water bodies, on heat-related excess mortality in the elderly > 6...

Heat stress is one of the most critical factors affecting human life. In Central Europe, its influence noticeable, especially in Polish–Saxon region, which a very popular tourist region also inhabited by high number elders. The main goal this paper was to assess multi-annual changes heat occurring considering frequency days, UTCI (Universal Thermal Climate Index), and circulation conditions. re...

Abstract The study objective was to determine the spatial and temporal variability of Poland’s bioclimatic conditions designate heat-stress regions with Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) application. based on daily data from multiannual period 1966–2021 obtained for 37 stations in Poland, provided resources Institute Meteorology Water Management–National Research (IMGW-PIB). aforementioned...

OBJECTIVE Climatic factors with desired and sometimes undesired effects lead to changes in the human body, such as hypothermia, influenza, heart disease, stroke, asthma, etc. The present study investigates the role of temperature in respiratory mortality in Mashhad, Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS Among the respiratory mortality data, daily temperature, wind speed and relative humidity from 2004 ...
