Great job by the team and @robertdmeade for leading this informative paper. Happy to share with anyone interested.
Our brief educational Primer on the physiology and biophysics of heat vulnerability 🥵🌡️and cooling 🪭🥤 was just published in @OneEarth_CP !! @whitleyatkins @ajebach @JoshFoster_PhD @katehutchins_ @ZachMcKenna_PhD @seannotley cell.com/one-earth/abstract/…

Our latest paper is now live in @eBioMedicine. Increased hospitalisation risks during hot weather based on the number, type, and combinations of multimorbidity. Those with multimorbidity should be seen as a distinct risk group in heat-health action plans. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

New AJIM paper: Low-cost workplace cooling oasis (fans, mist bottles, cold towels) can reduce thermal & cardiovascular strain as effectively as pricier and more cumbersome cooling vests. Sustainable solutions for employee health & safety. 🌡️☀️👷onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Summer 2023-24 is marked by a return to El Niño and has prompted concerns that rising temperatures, worsened by climate change, will threaten health, productivity, and safety. Griffith’s Dr @ajebach suggests some strategies aimed at beating the heat enlighten.griffith.edu.au/a-…

Replying to @Griffith_Uni
@Griffith_Uni's Ethos Project team findings from their 2022 survey of 547 Older Queenslanders - 75% unaware of heat-related health risks despite vulnerability. To bridge this gap, they have crafted an enlightening animated video series. Stay tuned for the links! #ClimateAction

Our new study reaffirms the link between rising temperatures and increased ambulance dispatches. More needs to be done to keep people cool at home to reduce the excess demand on emergency healthcare services during heatwaves. 🚑🌡️🔥 link.springer.com/article/10…

Data collection completed! Piloting the effect of cooling strategies on physiological strain in sawmill workers in Thailand. Has been a great experience implementing solutions for heat stress in the field.

Our new paper on the protective effects of building level passive cooling for improving indoor thermal stress for garment workers in Bangladesh. Rather than carbon intensive AC, green roofs could be one strategy amongst others needed to reduce worker risk. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

ALT Indoor WBGT work hour exposures for an unaltered factory roof and a green roof for present and future decades.

Our latest paper, led by @ajebach. After monitoring the thermal conditions of a Bangladeshi garment factory for an entire year, we modelled the effects of sustainable building-level cooling interventions. A related lab study to follow later this year. dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild…
