Greece will face persistent high temperature weather. What precautions should the public take?

Meteorological conditions are closely related to human health. Common meteorological conditions in daily production, living and working environments include physical factors such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure. Under normal circumstances, temperature is harmless to the human body and is necessary and beneficial to human physiological activities or productive labor. When the temperature in the living and working environment rises beyond the human body's ability to withstand it, it can lead to human illness or even death. In recent days, Greece will experience persistent high temperatures.

Once the human body enters the high-temperature environment of production and life, first of all, the psychological level of stress response is often sensitive to other levels. In a high-temperature environment, the human body's emotions begin to change and psychological activities intensify. If you don't adapt quickly, people can develop heat stress in the environment through irritability and anxiety. High temperature first causes the body's blood vessels to dilate, blood flow accelerates, and capillaries dilate. This series of reactions leads to an increase in cardiac load and increases body energy consumption. The blood supply and blood supply to the brain is reduced, and the body will feel dizzy. In this regard, people need to take protective measures.

In hot weather, drink more water and conduct physical examinations for some staff. Workers should add an amount of water equal to the amount of sweat. The best way to add water and salt is to serve salty drinks. Generally, each person drinks 3 to 5 liters of water and about 20 grams of salt every day. The salt content of the beverage is preferably 0.15 to 0.2%. It is recommended to drink small amounts of water several times. Minimize outings as much as possible. Turn on the air conditioner indoors to a suitable temperature. Secondly, we must maintain a good attitude. As the saying goes, a calm mind will naturally cool down. In hot weather, we must keep our hearts from being agitated.

In addition, pre-job physical examinations are required for personnel working in high temperatures. People suffering from organic diseases of the cardiovascular system, hypertension, ulcer disease, liver and kidney diseases, organic diseases of the central nervous system, etc. are not suitable for high-temperature work. High-temperature work places very high demands on the body. At the same time, it can also cause great harm to the human body. When working outside, you must take preventive measures.
