I recently learn a learn about heat related illness, however heat exhaustion & heat stroke can both have detrimental health effects & can even lead to death. Head related illnesses are caused by drastic heat & humidity. They can happen both indoors & outdoors… Many people do not realize that heat related illnesses can happen indoors because they think that everyone has access to a/c! Unfortunately this is not the case, & all air conditioners do not prevent heat related illnesses in the same way. I live in an part where the summers are so hot & humid, that there are often air quality warnings. If someone is indoors & they do not have a/c at all, chances are the temperature of their property can go up to 100 degrees. In this case, individuals inside that property would be at risk for heat related illnesses. The learn showed that the people who suffered the most heat related illnesses were working outdoors in tasks such as construction. Second to that were individuals inside their homes with no a/c at all, however people who had window air conditioner units were still at risk for heat related illnesses, even though this data may seem surprising. The learn showed that 30% of people who had window air conditioner units instead of central a/c still suffered from heat related illness. This is because the window air conditoner units do not have the capacity to cool the entire home, just the room in which they are located. People with central a/c were the least likely to suffer from heat related illnesses.
