Increasing physical work capacity losses due to heat stress increase
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "International Journal of Biometeorology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00484-025-03008-0
Abstract: As global warming continues, hotter and more humid weather conditions become increasingly frequent, heightening population exposure to heat-stress environments. This could lead to a loss of physical work capacity (PWC loss) and result in significant… read more here.
