Heat Stress, Physiological Stress
Influence of Indoor Humidity on Physiological Strain in Older Adults During a Simulated Heat Wave
Laboratory-based studies show that exposure to high humidity can worsen the effects of heat stress in young and older adults by impeding sweat evaporation - the main mechanism by which the human body cools itself.
