One scenario which might cause a worker to suffer from severe respiratory problems, heatstroke, and possible equipment injuries in underground mining in a temperate region with a very humid atmosphere.

Explanation:

Heatstroke is a potentially fatal condition that occurs when the body temperature exceeds 104° F (40° C). It can lead to temporary or irreversible malfunction and or damage to vital body organs such as the kidney, liver, lungs, and even the brain.

In underground mines the temperature is usually very hot because of the heat of the rock itself and the temperature of the water that flows through hot rock formations.

Excessive heat has been associated with workplace accidents. As the temperature becomes hotter, workers have a tendency to lose more and more concentration which leads to poor judgment and risky decisions.

The more the body works, the more heat it generates as it converts energy from chemical to mechanical. The more the core of the body heats up the more the heat is expelled through a complex system of respiration involving the skin.

The efficiency with which the skin expels the heat is reduced if the clothing being worn is thick and not airy.

So, the first thing that a worker can do to prevent heatstroke associated injuries is to stay aerated.

The second is to ensure that the air in the workplace is moving. Movement allows air to cool. If the air around the worker stays cooler than the worker's skin, then the worker's body will be able to cool off gradually.

The third is to stay hydrated. Water helps the body to cool off. When the body releases sweat, it helps the body to stay cool. However, that means that the body must be furnished with high amounts of water in an environment with very high temperatures.

1. cold turkey (no outside ). about 90% of people who try to quit smoking do it without outside support -- no aids, therapy, or medicine. although most people try to quit this way, it's not the most successful method. only about 5% to 7% are able to quit on their own.

2. behavioral therapy. this involves working with a counselor to find ways not to smoke. together, you'll find your triggers (such as emotions or situations that make you want to smoke) and make a plan to get through the cravings.

3. nicotine replacement therapy. there are several types, including nicotine gum, patches, inhalers, sprays, and lozenges. they work by giving you nicotine without the use of tobacco. you may be more likely to quit with nicotine replacement therapy, but it works best when you use it with behavioral therapy and lots of support from friends and family. and remember that the goal is to end your addiction to nicotine, not simply to quit using tobacco.
