2024 became a record in the number of periods of strong heat. Three facts that you need to know about thermal stress and how to prevent it Climate and environment According to the World Meteorological Organization, in 2024 & nbsp; the year, the global temperature for the first time exceeded the 1.5 & nbsp; ° С throughout the year – this year has become the hottest for all 175 & nbsp; observation years. Moreover, there is a 80 percent probability that over the next five years the record 2024 & nbsp; the year will be beaten. 62 ~ hundreds of millions of inhabitants of the planet receive existence, working outdoors, and a significant part of these people are busy in agriculture. With thermal stress, when the body is not able to cool, overheating can lead to various pathological conditions. sweat is not harmful! 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62What is thermal stress ? it occurs when the body cannot fully remove heat. Our body regulates body temperature with sweating. Therefore, not & nbsp; it is worth treating it as some kind of inconvenience! The human body functions best at an internal temperature of 37 & nbsp; ° C. When the body temperature becomes too high or too low, the internal organs do not work so effectively. ~ 60 > thermal stress affects people differently: it threatens someone less, less. Knowledge of the danger of thermal stress can save your health – or even save life. ~ 60 > if you did not know about it, do not worry! The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has prepared a comprehensive publication on this topic, and below we give three of its main thesis. 62 ~ how the heat affects the body and how the heat affects the body Reason Our body converts food into energy, but only a small part of it is used for the purpose of the body. The rest of the energy is converted into heat, which through the circulatory system and skin is dissipated in the external environment. In the heat, this is achieved due to sweating. However, everyone sweats differently. If a person sweats very little, then he is more threatened with thermal stress. In addition, those who work for a long time in the open air, such as agricultural workers, are more susceptible to heat stress. ~ 60 > overheating negatively affects the body, but also on the mood and actions of a person, as a result, the risk of non -compliance with safety and unfortunate ones increases. cases. 60 ~ p > the most common disease caused by overheating is thermal exhaustion. As a result of sweating, the volume of blood decreases, which creates a load on the circulatory system, since it & NBSP; should work more intensively to supply blood to the muscles and skin to cool the body. This is fraught with dehydration, and then with a thermal blow. The most severe state caused by overheating is a thermal blow that can be life -threatening if you do not provide a person in a timely manner. Often it occurs after prolonged physical exertion in the heat. At risk are people who are not acclimatized to the heat, physically not prepared, suffering from obesity or cardiovascular diseases. The use of alcohol also increases the risk. ~ 60 > mortality rate as a result of pathological conditions caused by overheating, among workers of rural and forestry, fishermen and hunters are much higher than on average among the able -bodied population. 60 ~ h2 > know how to recognize the symptoms ~ 60 > feeling strong thirst in the hot The body sends a signal to the brain that you need to drink more fluids. Follow the signs of dehydration of the body: redness of the skin, muscle fatigue, nausea, severe dry mouth and dizziness. Dehydration is easy to determine by the color of urine. If the urine is dark yellow, most likely you need to drink more water. ~ 60 > people, as a rule, make up only from half to two thirds of fluid removed from the body, and because of this, without knowing it, subject themselves to the risk of dehydration. In & nbsp; result, the risk of developing pathological conditions caused by overheating increases, and the performance decreases. ~ 60 >~ 60 > hot, dry skin can be a symptom of thermal stress, and a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in the pulse with an increased risk of fainting – warm exhaustion. A person experiencing thermal exhaustion is most likely also very dehydrated, tired, feels dizziness or nausea and suffers from headache. He should immediately move to a cool place, relax and drink water. At the same time, if a person drinks a large amount of water, but does not make up for salt lost during sweating, he may have heat seizures. In this case, salt tablets or salted liquid helps. take measures 60 ~/h2 ~~ 60 > do not forget to drink water – this The main way to prevent thermal stress. The volume of the fluid necessary to avoid dehydration depends on your activity and climatic conditions. 60 > person who performs non -rushing work in coolness, should be drunk about two liters of water per day. In more difficult conditions, it may be necessary to drink up to 15 & nbsp; fluid liters per day. It is better to drink regularly and in small portions, and not a lot at once. ~ 60 > Avoid coffee, tea and alcohol, because they contribute to dehydration. 62 ~~ 60 > in the heat it is also recommended to wear thin clothes of light tones. In order to avoid sunburn and reduce the risk of developing skin cancer, it is important not only to cover the skin from the sun, but also to take into account the composition of the fabric: it depends on how well the clothes holds heat and removes sweat. For example, cotton clothing passes evaporation well and removes moisture from the body. thermal stress can hit any person, regardless of age. Given the growing world temperature, you should not forget to drink a lot of liquids and defend yourself from the sun & nbsp; – this can be very important for your health! & Amp; nbsp; ~ 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~
