burden (red):
It is possible to develop serious health problems (eg heat stroke) for all groups of the population.
Exposure to sunlight or even physical activity (exercise or work) during the day significantly increases the risk of health.
The absence of liquids and electrolytes and/or the absence of adequate body cooling significantly increases the risk of health.
Low air quality (eg increased concentrations of suspended particles) and the consequent health effects (eg deterioration of asthma status).
Power breaks are possible due to increased energy posts from the use of air conditioning.
