Evan R. Kuras,Molly B. Richardson,Miriam M. Calkins,Kristie L. Ebi,Jeremy J. Hess,Kristina W. Kintziger,Meredith A. Jagger,Ariane Middel,A. Scott,June T. Spector,Christopher K. Uejio,Jennifer K. Vanos,Benjamin F. Zaitchik,Julia M. Gohlke,David M. Hondula +14 more
TL;DR: Personal heat exposure research provides more valid and precise insights into how often people encounter heat conditions and when, where, to whom, and why these encounters occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Case-Crossover Study of Heat Exposure and Injury Risk in Outdoor Agricultural Workers.
June T. Spector,David K. Bonauto,Lianne Sheppard,Tania Busch-Isaksen,Miriam M. Calkins,Darrin Adams,Max Lieblich,Richard A. Fenske +7 more
TL;DR: Combined heat-related illness and injury prevention efforts should be considered in high-risk populations exposed to warm ambient conditions in the setting of physical exertion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat Exposure and Occupational Injuries: Review of the Literature and Implications.
TL;DR: The emerging literature on the relationship between heat exposure and occupational traumatic injuries and implications of this work is reviewed, suggesting an increased risk of traumatic injury with increasing heat exposure, though the exact mechanisms of heat exposure’s effects on traumatic injuries are still under investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of extreme heat on emergency medical service calls in King County, Washington, 2007–2012: relative risk and time series analyses of basic and advanced life support
TL;DR: Analysis of EMS demand associated with extreme heat, using calls as a health metric, in King County, Washington, for a 6-year period found effects demonstrated in relatively younger populations and more health conditions than those identified in previous analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
A case-crossover study of heat exposure and injury risk among outdoor construction workers in Washington State.
Miriam M. Calkins,David K. Bonauto,Anjum Hajat,Max Lieblich,Noah S. Seixas,Lianne Sheppard,June T. Spector +6 more
TL;DR: In this study of Washington outdoor construction workers, increasing maximum daily humidex was associated with increasing traumatic injury risk, and injury prevention efforts targeted at construction should address heat-related risk factors.
