Working And Playing In Heat
Sunday, June 1st, 2008The human body functions best within a narrow internal temperature range of 36 to 38 degrees Celsius. In hot environments, more blood is directed toward the skin surface and perspiration increases to help cool the body. When heat loss or gain becomes more than the body can balance, internal systems will begin to fail and shut down, leading to illness and possibly death.
Dehydration is a common concern when working in a hot environment. It is caused by failure to replace the salt and water lost through perspiration. Although perspiring helps the body cool, it is necessary to replace lost fluid and salt.
Solar Pool Heaters
Saturday, April 26th, 2008Solar pool heaters are a great way to get in on the trend of solar heating. As you probably know, heating a swimming pool is very expensive. For this reason, many residences or businesses choose not to heat their pool at all. But this often makes the swimming pool so inhospitable that no one ends up using it. Don’t let your swimming pool sit there any longer because you can’t afford your energy bill! Install a solar pool heater today and you’ll be swimming in a warm pool in no time!
