EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON HUMAN HEALTH

 

TEMPERATURE AND ITS EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH

‘Global warming’ the topic that was the most talked about for past three years and being fought against its effects even till now where it is almost not possible to bring back the original ozone layer back with no holes in it but as per our best try, we have controlled it very much from being further affected. It had various impacts that lead to several health problems. One of them were the temperature fluctuation, which might be a normal factor on sight, that really has great impact when we look deep into it. 

    

Rising global ambient temperatures affect all populations. Human health is more vulnerable to climate change. Temperature extremes can worsen a normal human’s chorionic conditions, including cardiovascular, respiratory and cerebrovascular disease and diabetes related conditions too. Heat also has important indirect health effects. Heat gain in the human body can be caused by a combination of external heat from the environment and internal body heat generated from metabolic processes. Rapid rises in heat gain, due to exposure to hotter than average conditions compromises the body’s ability to regulate temperature and can result in a cascade of illnesses, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and hyperthermia. Heat conditions can alter human behavior, the transmission of diseases, health service delivery, air quality, and critical social infrastructure such as energy, transport, and water. Keeping our body cool and hydrated as much as possible will help us to be away from facing all these problems due to excess heat than normal.
