Study on Assessment of High Temperature and Humidity in Working Environment on Human Health

Abstract

In this study, a series of references on human physiology and psychology response to hot and humid environments were analyzed. On basis of the thermo metabolism system, energy metabolism system, cardiovascular system and respiratory system, impact mechanism of high temperature and humidity on human health was presented. The results indicate that the high temperature and humidity in working environment have significant impact on human health. The high temperature and humidity cause the reducing of temperature difference in vitro and in vivo, the difficult of metabolic heat diffusion, the significant increasing of energy metabolism and oxygen consumption, heart failure, hypoxia and other physiological responses.
