Exposure to extreme heat was found to reduce sperm quality in temperate countries. In Project HeatSafe, we analysed the associations between extreme heat and sperm quality in Singapore (a tropical country).
Here are our findings:

By 2050, over 5 billion people could face at least a month of extreme heat each year.

#NUSMedicine researchers found that #medications to treat various #chronic diseases may hinder the body’s ability to lose heat and regulate its core #temperature to optimal levels. Read more here: medicine.nus.edu.sg/news/med…

Healthcare workers who felt thermally uncomfortable after a medical drill demonstrated greater risk-taking behaviour.
How are other populations such as seniors and outdoor workers affected by the heat? Learn more: straitstimes.com/singapore/b…

Do you know what our Network does?
We're working across disciplines, sectors and borders to reduce the health impacts of extreme heat on a warming planet.

To evaluate the impact of heat stress on occupational work in Singapore, we profiled construction workers at 3 worksites in a warm month and a cool month. This effort would cumulate in an interventional study at an outdoor worksite later this year!

The HRPC was launched by Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen on 11 January 2023 at #NUSMedicine. This is a tripartite collaboration between NUS, the SAF and DSO National Laboratories which aims to devise forward-looking solutions to tackle challenges caused by rising temperatures.

In @ProjectHeatSafe, we monitored the environmental conditions of 19 outdoor worksites across a year. Mean maximum hourly WBGT exceeded high heat stress risk levels at all sites. It is pertinent that employers take ownership of environmental monitoring to ensure workers' safety.

For the World Cup, Qatar's infrastructure provides comfort for fans via air-conditioning. But, workers who built them did not have such luxury. They braved intense heat leading to illnesses like chronic kidney disease. @edkashi and @TIME report on this.
