It was estimated that ≃2.4 billion workers were exposed to excessive workplace temperatures in 2020.

@robertdmeade and colleagues highlight the need for solutions aimed at reducing heat at work and home to protect the most vulnerable workers

@kiwiheatlab @BNEJournal @faming_wang666 @hahaboy43 Odd to me that the abstract/key points highlight benefits of fans, but this was only in fan + fluid vs no fan + no fluid control. Given fan only condition was associated with similar if not worse responses (not highlighted), seems more like beneficial effect of fluid...

With @mccstudy and global experts, we estimated that landscape fire smoke was associated with 1.5 million deaths annually from 2000 to 2019. Alarmingly, this burden has been increasing, with the majority of deaths occurring in LTMICs. Congrats @RongbinXu
