COLD STRESS
Cold stress occurs by driving down the skin
temperature, and eventually the internal
body temperature. When the body is unable
to warm itself, serious cold-related illnesses
and injuries may occur, and permanent
tissue damage and death may result.
HOW PEOPLE NEGETES THIS
STRESS?
Planning for work in cold weather is the most important defense in preventing cold
stress.  Wearing appropriate clothing and being aware of how your body is reacting
to the cold are important to preventing cold stress.  Avoiding alcohol, certain
medications and smoking can also help to minimize the risk.
POLAR ADAPTATION DUE TO
COLD STRESS
The extreme Arctic climate makes the region a forbidding place to travel and a
challenging place to live. Even so, people have found ways to explore and live in
the Arctic.

 Arctic native peoples lived primarily from

hunting, fishing, herding, and gathering wild
plants for food, although some people also
practice farming, particularly in Greenland.
Northern people found many different ways to
adapt to the harsh Arctic climate, developing
warm dwellings and clothing to protect them
from frigid weather.
HEAT STRESS
Heat stress is an illness that can be caused by
exposure to extreme heat. It occurs when the
body is unable to maintain a healthy
temperature in response to a hot environment.
Workers who are constantly exposed to high
temperatures or an otherwise hot environment
may be at risk for developing heat stress.
HOW PEOPLE NEGETES THIS
STRESS?
Wear loosefitting, lightweight clothing. 
Protect against sunburn. 
Drink plenty of fluids. 
Take extra precautions with certain medications. 
ADAPTATION DUE TO HEAT
STRESS
Humans in Central Africa have been living in
similar tropical climates for at least 40,000 years,
which means that they have similar
thermoregulatory systems.
A study done of South Africa showed that Bantus
have a lower sweat rate than that of acclimated and
nonacclimated whites.
A similar study done on Aboriginal Australians
produced similar results, with Aboriginals having a
much lower sweat rate than whites.
ALTITUDE STRESS
Species that undertake altitudinal migrations are
exposed to a considerable seasonal variation in
oxygen levels and temperature.
Cold temperature and low oxygen level present
severe challenges for organisms living at high
elevations. The strong selection pressures posed by
these harsh conditions have resulted in the
evolution of key adaptations for hypoxia
resistance, cold tolerance and enhanced metabolic
capacity in many mammals and birds
HOW PEOPLE NEGETES THIS
STRESS?
Eat carbs
Avoid alcohol
Drink water
Sleep lower
Medication
ADAPTATION DUE TO HIGH
ALTITUDE
High-altitude adaptation in humans is an instance
of evolutionary modification in certain human populations,
including those of Tibet in Asia, the Andes of the Americas,
and Ethiopia in Africa, who have acquired the ability to survive at
extremely high altitudes. This adaptation means irreversible, long-
term physiological responses to high-altitude environments,
associated with heritable behavioral and genetic changes.
While the rest of the human population would suffer serious health
consequences, the indigenous inhabitants of these regions thrive
well in the highest parts of the world. These people have undergone
extensive physiological and genetic changes, particularly in the
regulatory systems of oxygen respiration and blood circulation,
when compared to the general lowland population
