Heat is the state of the atmosphere in this area, characterized by hot air heated by the sun's rays [1] . In meteorology , heat is an increase in air temperature from +35 ° C and above. It is a typical constant state of the atmosphere for areas between the tropics, for areas outside the tropics it is characterized by climatic summers. In the steppe as well as in the semi-desert zone of Russia, intense heat occurs annually with temperatures above +30 ° C, in some years it exceeds +40 ° C. Sometimes heat occurs in taiga and even tundra zones (in continental northeastern Siberia). In everyday life, heat is the high temperature of air in rooms heated by fire, a red-hot stove, etc. [1] .
Health Impact
During summer periods of elevated temperature, an increase in mortality is usually observed among people of senile age, patients with hypertension, and seriously ill patients. Elevated temperature also negatively affects the health of healthy people, makes daytime work ineffective [2] .
In the USA, NIOSH experts developed recommendations for preserving the health of workers in a heating microclimate [3] .
