Temperature
As the climate turns for the worse, the temperature experiences are becoming to
extreme. In which it is becoming too hot or too cold. There have also been cases all around
the world about high temperatures, heat waves and the like. Due to this, there have been
cases that have affected friends, family, and other people in the community. The researchers
are motivated to obtain the reason as to why these people experience these cases of
hyperventilation, nose bleeding, and fainting and to shed light on the phenomenon that keeps
plaquing this people these may also lead to the understanding of heat sensitive people to be
able to empathize and help these individuals during the times of emitting high temperature.
The study centers around the extreme heat or high temperatures in the PGN building
which may cause problems such as asthma, hyperventilation, and to heat sensitive
individuals in which it focuses to the understanding the very cause of heat-related ailments
and experiences of heat sensitive students in order to find solution to the problems.
In an article written by Suszamonics (2018) published in the journal, atmosphere,
states that relief in residential building warrants nominating the correct air parameters,
temperature, humidity, as well as the concentration of gas may fall under the parameters.
Factors greatly influence the wellness and welfare of an individual, negligence to deliver
proper air quantity could lead ailments such as fainting, as well as other symptoms.
As stated by Donna Hardz (2012), possible relations of thermal comfort adaptation to
heat-related ailments on individuals; also present feasible benefit of collaboration between
this two fields of the study. Both cities were exposed in an increase in heat-related dispatches
with rise in temperature and heat index, but with a higher in the development of people in
Phoenix.
The most heat illness occurs when a person is exposed to heat too long, outdoor
activities exposed to high heat can lead to heat-related ailments because the air is very humid.
Most patients experience heat-related ailments are older adults and young children,
overweight and those who have illnesses (Medline Plus, 2016).
To protect and help people prevents heat or high temperature, and having heat-related
illness, we may apply air conditioning, used of specific building materials, thicken walls,
shading from direct sunlight, natural ventilation, and to increase the motion of air, to make
the indoor temperature Cooler Geneva: (World Health Organization).
Heat related ailments are diseases that may occur when a person is exposed to high
temperature, caused by low air quantity, humidity, or the environment alone. This can be
prevented by the usage of air conditioning or natural ventilation system.
According to Sundell, J.et al. (2014) studied, a rise of ventilation rates should produce
an outcome in decreased frequency of health results related in the position of contaminated
open air.
Natural ventilation can be utilized to forestall overheating issues during summer. This
detached cooling strategy, driven by wind and thermally created weights, chills off the
uncovered structure during the evening and lessens and defers subsequently the indoor
temperature crests by day (Janssens, A. and Breesch, H., 2015).
Ventilation, defined by Daniels, R. (2004) it is also called breathing, occurs as the
first step to oxygenation, the passage of air going to and out of the lungs, the aim being to
transport clean air into the lungs’ alveoli. The rate of, as well as the depth of ventilation is
determined by the saturation of hydrogen ions and carbon dioxide in the body' fluids,
ventilation adjust accordingly to any change brought about in the concentrations of these
components in the body. An increase in carbon dioxide, or decrease in the pH level of the
body can stimulate faster and deeper ventilation, hyperventilation in some cases.
Natural ventilation is a good remedy to lessen the effects of health illnesses as this is
also a good strategy in order to reduce the temperature in the environment
According to the article written by Villines, Z. (2019), heat intolerance has an
assortment of reactions to high temperature. Individuals with heat affectability loathe
outrageous high temperature and should be wary in high temperature, particularly when there
are other hazard wellbeing diseases identified with warmth related ailment. Individuals may
create maladies equipped for causing death, for example, heat stroke.
Heat intolerance, or what is likewise alluded to as heat sensitivity, is a name for a
condition when the standard to elements of the body to chill itself off are not working
appropriately, in this way, the individual can't modify in like manner to changes in the
encompassing condition, which incorporates temperature (Sloan, J., 2019).
As stated also by Falck, S. (2018), heat intolerance is also referred to as
hypersensitivity to heat. When you have heat intolerance, it's frequently on the grounds that
your body isn't directing its temperature appropriately. Your body directs its temperature by
keeping up a fragile equalization inside hot temperature.
Heat intolerance is the inability of the human body to adapt to the ever increasing
temperature in the environment.
In a study conducted by Schmeltz (2015), exposure to heat can lead to heat-related
illness such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion and heat stress are experienced. Heat stress is the
apparent uneasiness and physiological strain likewise because of introduction to high
temperature condition. Based on what has been said, there are consequences to being in a hot
environment, these is due to the interfering of heat in the bodies of people, causing illness,
knowing what heat can do can shed light to what students experience on a daily basis.
While in another study conducted by Scharf (2008), has stated that mean skin
temperature in cattle for both hot and cold rooms have resulted in dramatic change in body
temperature causing psychological stress to the human body. It is evident in the study that
extremes can affect the body of an organism, much more a human, these extremes cause
dramatic changes in the body of an organism, disrupting the body with physiological stress.
Hosokawa, Stearns, and Casa (2019), put into question to what the cause of heat
sensitivity, using present evidence it was suggested that there are two points in defining heat
sensitivity, which are sensitivity to heat either as state or a trait. Although, there are also
numerous reports of the connection of genetic coding of people to be a factor in an
individual’s ability to cope with stress created by heat. Whether or not genetics have a
bearing on the sensitivity of people to heat, it is undeniable that there is evidence that heat
does cause problems for individuals since some are more vulnerable to high temperature than
others.
In an effort to model the temperature-sensitive neural networks, Pirc (2011), have
concluded that warm sensitive neurons and temperature insensitive neurons in the
hypothalamus signal to synaptically driven effector neuron causing humans to ventilate.
These sensitive neurons can become overly sensitive due to those genetic variation, these,
whether they contribute to the sensitivity of a student to heat, is known that these are overly
active in individuals that are weak to the heat.

. While Andaman, Soebarto, and Williamson (2006) aimed to find what range are
people thriving in, rather than suffering in. That study put into light various explanations,
ideas, opinions, and other concerns regarding one’s disposition to heat and its relation to how
people interact, and function with each other, with machines, and with the self. It put into
question what the scope of the temperature people are comfortable in, with regards to the
setting, Makati City. Results have shown that people whom have been in contact with the
tropical climate for most of their lives have been observed to be more comfortable in lower
temperatures. Focusing on what thermal comfort is to the perception of the Filipino people,
the environment is directly related to what people feel, whether it is thermal comfort, or
discomfort, given that some individuals are predisposed to be weak or sensitive to heat, the
importance of thermal comfort should be emphasized, by the air quality surrounding the
student.
Pryor, Bennet, O’Connor, Young and Asplund (2015) have also deduced that, in
doing activities such as sports, or exercise, in a hot environment, it poses a possible outcome
that includes a detrimental illness, appropriately called exertional heat illness. Individuals
may suffer from both internal, and external factors, and may boost the chances for heat
illness. Exploring upon the end result of functioning in a hot environment, individuals,
student or not, can and will experience heat illness in the setting of a hot environment, and
the few who are sensitive to heat are more vulnerable as the temperature rises.
To find out the effects of temperature on human health, Ikäheimo (2014) , have discussed
that the exertion of heat stroke may affect people to have chronic mental disorders or
cardiopulmonary disease, because of no access to air conditioning. In addition to the possible
effects of heat, the danger of a heat-sensitive student is put in is enough to cause severe
detrimental effects, with the access to the air conditioner it can be prevented, but due to its
absence, it cannot be denied that it is wholly possible for a student to experience the
mentioned diseases, and disorders.
Chua, Dorothan, Estanislao, Hashizome, and Salazar (2019) have also expanded on
the possible factor that climate change, on the cases of hyperventilation. There, the impact of
climate change on human health have been observed and projected in the Philippines as
vector borne and heat ailments that continue to increase. Mentioned in this study would be
the impact of climate change, especially the heating of the country, it heightens the risk of
heat related illnesses, and being in an environment, such as the PGN building, can become a
factor in the accumulation of heat stress, and physiological strain, causing disorders, and
illness.
In a study conducted by Sepson, Dang, and Honda (2016), it has been concluded that
extreme hot temperatures have corresponding effects on the heightening of respiratory-
related diseases in individuals. This addresses the high temperatures as a factor that causes
respiratory problems, including hyperventilation, these respiratory problems are experienced
by some students, and can be a reason for sickness in students.
To expand on another factor of stress caused by heat, Carter (2015) has connected the
relationship between radiation and daytime temperature stress, there is concern that radiation
could be masking potential temperature stress to a person’s body. Shown here is that it is
possible for the increase in radiation absorbed by a person can have ill effects such as
temperature increase, putting more heat stress on that person.
While Reardon, and Clarke (2013), have reasoned out that the factors that affect the
comfort for people (Human thermal comfort) are based in Design for climate and involve
physiological and psychological effects. In this study, it has provided reasons as to what
could have caused the disruption of the comfort of a person due to heat, solving problems
concerning the heat stress gained by the students, there should be something in the building
preventing this discomfort, it is also possible that students may complain about lack of
facilities concerning the rise in temperature.
To add onto that, Lu, Tsai, Muo, Kuo, Sung, and Wu (2017) have acknowledged that
there are a selection of expressed symptoms attributed to the exposure to specific building
conditions, this combination of symptoms, called Sick Building Syndrome, are caused by
some factors that may include low indoor airflow, are linked to the ailments such as
dizziness, among others, it also stated that psychological factors have significant links with
lower respiratory symptoms. Knowledge on what students might experience due to heat can
be helpful as to explain and shed light to the problems and experiences of the students take
in. It also takes into account that the mentioned symptoms are a result of the current air
parameters, students can express these symptoms when exposed to a hostile environment,
and low air quality.
In addition to the factors that contribute to Sick Building Syndrome, Madalena,
Mendell, Eliseeva, Chan, Sullivan, Russell, Satish, and Fisk (2015), have concluded that
changes in ventilation rates performed in the study affect the performance in healthy young
adults even though some symptoms are not expressed. Stated above is the fact that, even
though ventilation rates change, the effects to young adults may not be expressed in the
perceived symptoms, but can still affect the performance of students, even though heat-
sensitive individuals cannot properly function in the heat, even the slightest irritation, or
sluggishness can be seen as a result of high temperature.

The reason why changes in ventilation would affect an individual was explored by
Seppanen, and Kurnitski (2009) in their study where they have concluded that ventilation
helps to remove pollutants and to make the thermal environment and humidity in the
buildings stable. This ventilation must be adequate to expel or decrease contaminations and
moistness to think about the wellbeing and solace of the individuals in the structure.
According to this study, illnesses and heat-related ailments can stem from the lack of
ventilation, in the students, it can be deduced that at times, students can be surrounded by too
many people, creating more carbon dioxide, and lessening oxygen or be overwhelmed by the
heat, these factors are said to be a result of lack of ventilation in the building.
While a study conducted by Walker (2016) considered that natural ventilation is
helpful and appropriate in reducing energy use, cost and for maintaining indoor
environmental quality, and to have healthy, comfortable, and to provide an indoor
temperature without the use of mechanical ventilation. Ventilation is important, it is a factor
that can affect what a student experience in a given situation, such as hot afternoons, or in the
case of a heat wave, these factors can affect the experiences of students, and to know what
the students’ experience, the factors contributing to it should be known.
Suggs (2016) also approved of that type of ventilation and has exclaimed that passive
cooling is a necessity for their state, Utah, as well as for any climate that may require the
means of cooling. Necessities in other places can be a helpful clue in finding out and
exploring the cases of hyperventilation, and other heat-related ailments, the students might
suffer due to the lack of facilities, such as air conditioning, this would explain in more depth
as to what the students experience.

The theory of heat by James Clark Maxwell, M.A. said that the condition of the body
may fluctuate persistently from cold to hot, we should concede the presence of an uncertain
number of moderate states, which we call transitional temperatures. The impressions of each
sort rely on such a significant number of variable conditions. Serve to indicate particular
temperatures as points of refers to estimate the state of bodies.
The purpose of this Phenomenological study is to understand the experiences of heat-
related ailments for heat sensitive individuals at PGN building, at this stage in the research ,
health-related-ailments will be generally defined as the negative reaction of the body to rise
of temperature.
1. How do heat sensitive individual deals with high temperature?
2. How would people with high temperature sensitivity describe their experiences when
the temperature is high?
3. How would people with high temperature sensitivity describe their experience when
the temperature is high?

The researchers will gather data to individuals with heat related ailments particularly
Grade 12 students who are in Peter G. Nepomuceno building with a time frame of 2 months
from September to October.
Central Phenomenon: Heat-related ailments
Focused: this is only focused on the person who have heat-related ailments more
specifically persons who have experienced hyperventilation, nose bleeding, nausea and
fainting. For this study doesn’t cover people with over extensive sweat and other heat
problems that doesn’t concern ailments such as stated above.
The scope and limitation of the study will only revolve around students that take
classes in Peter G. Nepomuceno building, therefore only Grade 12 students of varying
strands are allowed to participate in the study, to lessen the participants, the researchers
would only interview Grade 12 students that are heat sensitive and have any past cases of
health ailments caused by high temperatures. In regards to what considers as health ailment,
the researchers have limited these health ailments to only consider hyperventilation, nose
bleeding, and fainting caused by the high temperature.
To the present study, in regards to the examination of the experiences of heat-
sensitive individuals, would be significant, and would benefit few specific groups of people
greatly.
To the students. With the examination and the experiences of the heat-sensitive
individuals that will be put into writing, the students may use the results, and the discussion
included in this paper, to reflect that on which also applies to them. Knowing that there are
individuals that experience health ailments due to high temperatures in the PGN building,
students may develop and understanding to the position they are in in high temperatures, and
the health ailments they may experience can be easily detected earlier by following what has
been said by the former students that are the subjects of this study.
To the teachers. As students and teachers both occupy the PGN building, it is
unsurprising when the teachers also experience health ailments due to the high temperatures,
but this study is also important to them as it is they who monitor and lead the students. In the
event a student is afflicted by health ailments caused by the heat, using knowledge provided
by the study, the teachers can weigh the possible actions to do, and reflecting on the
experiences of past heat-sensitive individuals, coming up with the best decision is easier, and
faster.
To the parents. The children they send to be educated at any esteemed school will
surely be loved by their parents, sending children away to school may give the parents
concern, and worry, especially how they have doubts on the health of their children. The
study can be beneficial for them as this study exemplifies the experiences of heat-sensitive
individuals, the symptoms of health ailments, what quick cure these individuals may possess
knowledge of, and perhaps even the dangers of prolonged exposure to high temperatures
without the proper safety measures, these can be given by the study, giving the parents
knowledge on how to prevent and rectify the children’s behavior and actions as to lessen the
cases of health ailments caused by the heat.
To the future researchers. This study can give much guidance to the researchers
who plan to commit to similar studies ot perhaps expand on this particular study. Giving
great analysis on the experiences of the heat-sensitive individuals may be in great use by the
researchers in the medical field or the researchers that reside where the study has taken place.
May the study become a stepping stone in the achievement of higher education, and the
expansion of knowledge in regards to the topic presented.

Method
Participants
The study would cover Grade 12 students of the Holy Angel University as that whole
population resides at the Peter G. Nepomuceno building, where the research would take
place. It is this population that would be most representable to the environment at the PGN
building, as they take their classes at that building.
The type of sampling to be used is nonprobability in the subtype of purposive or
judge mental sampling in which the subjects will strictly be Grade 12 students who
continuously experience heat sensitivity such as those who experience asthma,
hyperventilation, heat stroke, and such when exposed to high temperatures.
Among the population of Grade STEM students, the number of sample will be limited
to 15 Grade 12 student participants because the study covers only in the individuals with heat
sensitivity and had experience in having heat-related ailments. For by this number we can
acquire precise data.
Since the study include the Grade 12 STEM student participants, the researchers will
therefore use the purposive or judgmental sampling method, and by this number we can
acquire precise data.
The qualifying criteria in the selection of sample are the grade 12 STEM students that
are heat sensitive that had already acquired heat-related ailments due to high temperature in
the environment.
Research Design
The most applicable research design for this study would be the phenomenological
design as this design would be the most effective in deepening the understanding of the
students’ experiences as the phenomenological design aims to out importance into the
perceptions and feelings of the subjects.
The researchers would apply and individual interview that is structured in form, with
the use of an interview guide, the design emphasizes the individual experiences and explores
the ideas, opinions, orally combination of said variables, by giving depth to the
understanding of these experiences by probing and putting aside prior knowledge on the
subject.
Instrument
The researchers are will be using semi-structured individual interview to gather data
to answer the research problem. The researchers will interview the individuals one-by-one
asking a specific set of questions but also add additional or follow-up questions that are still
related to the study in which this would help understanding to the findings (Cristobal, A. and
Cristobal, M.C., 2017)
The researchers chose the semi-structured as a method to gather additional data that
would add depth to the answers. By an individual interview, the researchers can focus on
them one-by-one asking questions that would help to the findings.

These will be divided into three statement of the problem which are how would they
deal with high temperature, describe their experiences, and to what health ailments they
suffered from due to heat.
Procedure (with ethical consideration)
The first to be done in the research is to identify the individuals who are sensitive to
heat, hence heat-sensitive, that spend most of their time, either teaching or studying, or
perhaps an office job, inside the PGN building. With the ten (10) identified individuals
spotted using the purposive type of sampling, the researchers would implore their
participation in the study as respondents that would share experiences concerning the high
temperatures in the PGN building, and what health ailments are caused by it. The subsequent
individual interviews of the heat-sensitive individuals would then be held with the use of the
interview guide, coupled with the use of a voice recorder to remove any hindrance of a
barrier to the answers of the interviewees, unlike in the use of pen and paper. Pictures with
the participants would be taken to serve as evidence that the interviews are not fabricated, the
researchers would then blur out the faces, IDs, and anything that may endanger the
participants’ anonymity. After the interviews, the recordings would then be transcribed word-
for-word, to not change the respondents’ answers regarding the questions to be asked. These
transcriptions would then be given the proper interpretations by the researchers to be able to
effectively satisfy the mentioned research questions, and to make the objective of the study
come to fruition.
Data Analysis
In this research, to construct conclusion from the collected data, content analysis is
needed, there are specific questions formulated to be answered to give more emphasis to
major variables. On this coding of data, finding the pattern will be identifying the related
words or phrases and sections of the text terminologies, ideas, and concepts of the data are
mainly observed.
This way of data analysis is used to identify the relevance of answers of the
participants to formulate a well-constructed answers from the research questions.

The respondents shared their experience regarding what to do when the temperature is
high, they have also shared on how to achieve comfort in order to cool down, as well as how
to cope when the temperature rose. Majority of the answers, drinking cool water has become
the most common response, participant G has stated that “When the temperature increases, I
usually drink three bottle of w-water.” Implying that it helps to stay hydrated, participant E
said that “I would normally either drink water to hydrate myself.” And also stay refreshed
which participant I stated that “I usually try to drink lots of water to feel refreshed.”
The researchers also asked about how to achieve comfort in high temperature as
participant F has said that “So if there are opportunities na mas merong malamig na lugar, I
will move there.” (So if there are opportunities that there is a cool place, I will move there._
while participant A said that “Ah kapag mainit, kailangan kase, ano parang, walang nakadikit
sakin ganun, kase parang masmainit pag masmadaming nakapalibot sayo.” (Of its hot, it
needs to be, like, there’s nothing sticking on me because it gets hotter when there’s a lot of
things surrounding you.) Which implies a deeper experience.
Concerning about on how to cope in heat, participant G stated that “To cope by
drinking plenty of water or cold drinks or if I’m at home, I take a bath or wash my face to
cool down.” Which is the same to what participant D said that “I try to cool myself down like
I said before drink a cold glass of water or maybe take a bath.”
The aforementioned experiences imply that drinking water when the temperature is
high is something to do, to achieve comfort, one must go to an open space to breathe fresh air
in order to cool down, and to cope in heat is by drinking cool water and taking a bath using
cold water.
The aforementioned experiences imply that drinking water and fanning oneself when
the temperature is high is something to do, to achieve comfort one must go to an open space
to breathe fresh air in order to cool down, and to cope in heat is by drinking cool water and
taking a bath using cold water. According IN Home BT (2018) stated that cold water should
be avoided as the body can receive shock yet even it oppose to the respondents’ answer, it
can still connect that one must drink water especially dehydrated.

A respondent described his/her experiences on high temperature this way, “I
experience in the heat is usually my face and hands starts to sweat, my body temperature
slowly increases as well, and sometimes my head starts to get a headache.” And another
respondent said, “I usually can’t focus on what I’m doing the heat makes me dizzy and weak
I also feel easily irritated by anything.”
Another respondent also said, “I usually feel dizzy and feel kong lalagnatin ako
ganon. Tapos minsan I experience na dumugo ilong ko yun.” (I usually feel dizzy and I feel
like I will have a fever. Sometimes I experience nose bleeding). And an additional statement
from another respondent: “When I’m already starting to sweat all over, that’s the time I get
really irritated by it.”
Through the description of respondents on their experiences in high temperature, their
most common experience is headache, followed by dizziness, fainting, irritability, discomfort
and nosebleed. These ten(10) respondents commonly described that they are starting to
notice that they are uncomfortable due to high temperature is when they started to sweat,
followed by being irritable, uncomfortable, headache, and blacking out. And through the
given statement of the respondents it is easy to assume that when there is a high temperature
they experience headache and feel dizzy and they are starting to realize that they are
uncomfortable when they sweat.
Through description of respondents or their experience to high temperature. Their
most common experience is headache. This is supported by the study of Erica Roth (2018).
Sweating is a bodily function that helps on maintaining the body’s temperature, it releases a
salt-based liquid from the sweat glands. Common triggers of sweat are changes body
temperature on the outside environments and emotional changes.

The respondents have shared their experiences regarding the health ailments they
experience when exposed to high temperatures, they have also shared the effects of heat in
regards to their physical body, as well as their cognitive functions. Having the most majority
answers, headache has become the most common response by the interviewees, Participant A
has stated that “yon, sumasakit yung ulo ko.” (Yeah, my head hurts), implying headaches and
head pain caused by the high temperatures they are present in, Participant B simply answered
“Headache when asked what is health ailments are affecting them when in the heat,
Participant E also had a similar experience in the heat exclaiming, “Headaches often occur to
me when I’m in a place with high temperature”, Participant F have also shared having
headaches along with having other symptoms saying “Ah, nose-bleed, dizziness, and
headache.” when asked about the health ailments they feel, Participant H also shares the
same sentiments answering “Headache tsaka palpitate o kaya hinihingal ako.” (Headache and
palpitations or hyperventilation.), when asked the same questions.
In regards to the physical body, specifically, the majority of the respondents have
answered the loss of energy. Participant C stated, in regards to the effects of high
temperatures on their body, “Parang naubos energy ko.” (It’s like my energy is depleted.),
while Participant F went deeper in their experience saying “Kapag naman sobrang init, super
bilis kong mapagod, like, hindi pa ako nakakadami ng parang kilos ganyan napapagod ako
bigla” (If it is very hot, I get tired really easily, like, I have not yet done that many actions but
I suddenly feel tired), while Participant H just said “I get exhausted easily” when confronted
with the same questions.
Concerning cognitive functions, the most common answer there was, with it being
unanimous, is the loss of focus. Most participants have answered similar responses, most can
be summarized by the answer of Participant B, which is, “Medyo kase nawawala ako sa
focus.” (I lose my focus.), and Participant D who said “I can’t get my mind off the heat I’m
exposed to” lowing focus at the task at hand and instead paying attention to the high
temperature.
With the completion of all interviews, the overarching effect of high temperatures on
the body of an individual is the rapid loss of energy, high temperatures affect the bodies of
these individuals by taking more energy to function normally, causing strain and exhaustion
on the body of the individual. After interviewing ten (10) heat-sensitive individuals, it is clear
that the highest reoccurring health ailment experienced are headaches, followed by dizziness,
and a tie between hyperventilation, nose-bleeding, and dehydration. With what has been said
and recorded, it is easy to assume that these health ailments are effects of high temperatures,
and are also widely felt by a lot of heat-sensitive individuals. High temperatures also have
various effects on the cognitive functions of an individual, these include loss of focus,
inability to retain/absorb information, and inability to understand information, but among
these, the majority of the interviewees would say that the loss of focus is an effect of high
temperatures. It is felt by most of the individuals.
With the completion of all interviews, the overarching effect of high
temperatures on the body of an individual is the rapid loss of energy, high temperatures affect
the bodies of these individuals by taking more energy to function normally, causing strain
and exhaustion on the body of the individual. After interviewing ten (10) heat-sensitive
individuals, it is clear that the highest reoccurring health ailment experienced are headaches,
followed by dizziness, and a tie between hyperventilation, nose-bleeding, and dehydration.

Much like the responses of the interviewees, the results from a study conducted by Seposo,
Dang, and Honda (2017) supports the results, as it states that the health effects manifest in
the population when the temperature increase, posing great risk for the health of the people.
Conclusion
According to what the participants have explained, they deal with high temperatures
through cooling themselves by means of fresh air from fanning themselves or through the
help of electric fans as well as drinking cold water to lower their temperature and to achieve
the comfort that they seek. ===== Most of the participants experience headaches or dizziness
which causes them to lose focus.
It is therefore conclude that high temperatures are detrimental health ailments and
negative effects on the body, these negative effects include a few symptoms, the majority
being headaches, and dizziness, effects on the physical body that is manifested as the rapid
loss of energy, and strain on the cognitive functions in the form of losing focus.
Recommendation
The researchers recommend to future researchers to expand upon the health ailments,
to possibly explore further into the different health ailments caused by the high temperatures,
it would also be better to raise the number of participants, the heat-sensitive students, to have
a better understanding on the commonalities found between those people who are sensitive to
heat. It would also be best to include other factors into the study to find out whether it can
affect the health ailments, factors may include humidity and air pollution in the presence of
heat. If it is possible, the researchers would like to recommend the continuation of the study
at Holy Angel University, to include more subjects, and to perform the study in other
locations that have different climates and environments, other countries for example.
