Many, including health officials, environmentalists and those interested in climate change, point out that the extreme heat that is spreading across the country has extended the cold hands of death to the people of the country. The health authorities also stressed the need to protect children, the elderly and the sick, who are at risk from the effects of global warming these days. Temperatures are expected to rise by three to four degrees Celsius throughout the island, especially along the western and southern coasts, which have caused a number of health problems, they said. Health officials point out that high temperatures can severely affect young children, the elderly, those who work outdoors, and those with chronic illnesses.
There are especially exacerbations of chronic diseases such as stress, drowsiness, inability to work (Heat Stress), Heat Cramps, Heat Stroke and Heat Rash in children and adults, as well as heart disease and lung disease. Being exacerbated during this time. Many specialists point out that some people appear to have died of a heart attack or other chronic illness, but in fact the high temperature affected the patient, causing him or her to die.
It is really hot in the country now. With the change in humidity, there is a problem of sweating in our body. As humans, we need to regulate temperature. We cannot change our temperature when the temperature of the environment changes. Failure to do so has led to a number of health problems. We also feel warmer, mainly due to changes in humidity. Normally we keep our body temperature constant at high temperatures through excessive sweating. Then when we lose the opportunity to sweat, our body temperature increases. We saw it as a great inconvenience. According to the specialist, there are many physical discomforts that can occur under this condition. There are dizziness, fainting, and fatigue. Young children, the elderly, those who work hard outside, such as those in the construction industry, farmers, traffic officers, etc. are most affected. People with chronic and chronic illnesses (eg people with heart disease) may have difficulty getting things done inside their body and their condition may worsen.
Our body has a certain temperature level. As soon as we can't control this temperature properly, big health problems arise. Especially in this situation, some people can be very uncomfortable. When the temperature rises, sweat is expelled to cool the body. But sometimes the sweat does not come out due to the problems of humidity. Then it becomes a very difficult situation. There is a feeling of weakness and drowsiness. Also, sweating occurs under working conditions. Then, as the temperature rises and sweat is released, things like water and salts are released along with the sweat. Young children as well as adults develop red blisters (Heat Rash) on the skin. In addition, conditions such as (Heat Stress) fainting occur at the initial stage. It also causes things like muscle cramps (Heat Cramps). Especially because of the imbalance in salts. The more sweat you excrete, the more likely it is that salts will come out. If this continues, it can affect even the internal organs of the body. Also, in case of muscle pain, salt should not be given and it is very important to give only water.
It is important to drink enough water. An adult should drink at least 2.5 liters of water. Also, soft drinks should never be substituted for drinking water. It is essential to carry an umbrella every time you go out in the sun. She also advises that most men are reluctant to use umbrellas and that they should at least wear a hat. Wearing light-colored clothing is one of the most important steps you can take to escape the extreme heat. Continued deforestation in Sri Lanka is a detrimental effect on health. Increasing the density of greenhouse gases is also a very important factor when talking about global warming. Carbon dioxide is a very powerful greenhouse gas. Plants absorb them, especially during the day. Also, the cooling of the environment is caused by plants. Thus increasing forest cover is a very important issue.
We as a country also need to talk about long term solutions. Especially climate change. The effect is that is getting. Speaking of climate change, there will be more hot seasons like this in the future. Natural disasters are more prevalent. The future is not good. Here we all have a responsibility as human beings to understand the seriousness of this. Unnecessary use of electricity should also be avoided. Keep air conditioners to a minimum, not just at home, but especially in every home. Minimize energy consumption. Minimize waste. Then we can control this situation in some way in the long run. Garbage burning is done everywhere. Then carbon dioxide is released into the environment. The need to talk alternative measures. This situation is exacerbated when we use resources unnecessarily. It is our children who are most at risk here. The heat of this world is very important to us. It is very useful. No matter how useful it is, the time has come for us to be bullied. Today's temperature are not the same as they were 40-50 years ago when we were little children. The ambient temperature is very high. The blue vegetation of yesteryear is no more. Global warming. Glaciers are melting. The sea level is rising. We too have the influence of the world. The whole world is one village, so we have to face all those threats.
This extreme heat is very harmful to people. Older people are especially affected. To get rid of this condition we say drink water. But the elderly rarely drink water. As you get older, you forget to drink water. Feeling we have 'Run out of gas' emotionally. Next to the little ones. There is no way for heat to escape from their body. Next are those who work in the sun. Police Ralahamy said this also affects him. He's wearing a suit. A person wearing a khaki dress is more likely to be affected than a person wearing a white dress. That's why we say wear light-colored clothing. For those in the military, workers, construction workers.
We say stay in the shade. Do not go in the hot sun. Wear a light, light-colored dress. White is better. Use an umbrella. Start working in the morning and evening without working during the day. There is no other drink as good as water to drink during this time. It is very important to drink plenty of water. After sweating, the skin absorbs heat to evaporate. Sweat evaporates only after absorbing heat. Then the body temperature drops. You need water to break out in a sweat. If you lose water, you will not sweat. Drink water until the color of the urine is light. Always keep the color of their urine light. Then the amount of water you drink is right. Urine turns yellow and inflammation is a big problem. Carrying a bottle of water wherever you go, asking if the other person has a bottle of water and paying special attention to the water can send a big message to the community to drink water. It is important to give first aid if you realize that someone is at risk. Take it to a cool place, untie it, don't give salt if it hurts. Give only water. When first aid is given in this way, they return to normal. But if the condition continues to worsen, it is important to seek medical attention.
