PRODUCTION MICROCLIMATE is

A COMBINATION OF PHYSICAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE THERMOREGULATION PROCESSES

Industrial microclimate

PARAMETERS:

TEMPERATURERELATIVE HUMIDITY

THE AIR VELOCITY (airflow)THERMAL RADIATION

Industrial microclimate

CLASSIFICATION:

1.Comfort;

2.Heating:

with the predominance of radiation heat;

with the predominance of convection heat;

Industrial microclimate

CLASSIFICATION:

3.Cooling;

with subnormal temperatureswith low temperatures (below

minus 10 degrees)

4. With high humidity;combined with low

temperaturecombined with high

temperature

Industrial microclimate

The effect of heating microclimate on the body:

Increase in the temperature of open skin areas;

Increased water loss;Vasodilation of the skin.

Industrial microclimate

The effect of heating microclimate on the body

(acute):

Heat stroke (often in combination with physical labor), manifested by muscle soreness, dry mouth, and neuropsychiatric excitement;

Hyperthermia;

Convulsive illness.

Industrial microclimate

Effect on the body of heating microclimate (chronic):

Cardiovascular syndrome.

There is an increase in blood viscosity due to the loss of salts -in blood plasma

difficulty with the CCC operation

Industrial microclimate

Effect on the body of heating microclimate (chronic):

Gastro-intestinal syndrome.

Compensatory intake of a large amount of water inhibits gastric secretion and reduces the bactericidal activity of gastric juicefavorable conditions for the development of inflammation.

Industrial microclimate

Effect on the body of heating microclimate (chronic):

Neurasthenic syndrome. High air temperature adversely affects the function of the Central nervous system, causing:

decreased of attention;

violation of movement coordination accuracy;

slowing down the reaction.
