Official Title: The Effects of Indoor Overheating on Physiological Strain in Young Adults During a Simulated Multi-day Heat Event
Brief Summary:
The likelihood of exposure to overheated indoor environments is increasing as climate change is exacerbating the frequency and severity of hot weather and extreme heat events.Prolonged exposure to excessive heat stress can result in a deterioration in physiological function leading to a myriad of pathophysiological conditions (e.g., heat exhaustion, acute kidney injury, adverse cardiovascular events, heat stroke) that if left untreated can lead to death.While the relationship between extreme heat events and human…
