Inclusion of short-term adaptation to thermal stresses in a heat load warning procedure

摘要: It is considered to be very probable that the frequency and intensity of heat waves will increase waves, such as one experienced in Europe 2003, not remain an exception. Everything goes suggest human beings have adapted their local climate. Extreme events for example, can, however, cause considerable stress thermoregulative processes organism. Heat load warning systems provide a possibility reducing heat-induced morbidity mortality. We are presenting method that, apart from thermophysiologically relevant evaluation environment, also takes into account short-term adaptation thermal environment. The forecast differs previously used methods it based on combination absolute relative thresholds thus includes conditions previous weeks. This attempt give quantitative description mainly qualitative statements literature acclimatisation. A further advantage this due inclusion relative, i.e. local, conditions, principle, applied all climates.
