Description
Habibollah Dehghan, Saeid Yazdanirad, and Zahra Ordudari present a 2026 study that builds a heat stress index for outdoor work from map and weather data alone. Outdoor crews face rising heat as the climate warms, and gauges are not always at hand. A score that needs no field kit could flag risk early.
The team studied 201 men who worked outdoors in hot dry and hot humid zones. Ear temperature and heart rate were read at rest and 90 minutes into work, beside site weather, clothing load, and body burn rate. A path model sorted the drivers. The lead factors held a joint weight of 0.8 on ear temperature. Globe heat, air heat, and humidity led the side paths.
