Humidity’s Role in Heat-Related Health Outcomes: A Heated Debate
BACKGROUND: As atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise, temperature and humidity will increase further, causing potentially dire increases in human heat stress. On physiological and biophysical grounds, exposure to higher levels of humidity should worsen heat stress by decreasing...
