EXTREME TEMPERATURES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE HUMAN BODY
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The air temperature presents a periodic variation (diurnal and seasonal) and a non-scheduled due to the atmospheric disturbances. The extreme values of the temperatures recorded in the warm and cold season cause biological disturbances in the human body and it requires adaptation to the changes of rhythm and of thermal comfort .The temperature correlation in the warm season with the air moisture as well as in the cold one with the wind speed it is achieved by temperature humidity index (THI) and cooling index (IR). This paper outlines the general aspects in Romania related to temperature, temperature humidity index, the hot weather and cooling index, they are combined with the effects produced by these general aspects on the human body. However, the study analyzed the issues mentioned above in the region of Moldova from 2006 to 2007.
