Assessment of Environmental Condition and Its Effect on Biological Parameters of Farm Women

Abstract

Climate change ends up increasing ambient temperature. North Gujarat region falls under hot and dry climatic zone. This research focused on assessing the effect of high temperature women who were working outdoors. Multistage random sampling method was used to select farm women. Total sample size was eighty farm women. Environmental parameters were measured at the farm where farm women were working. Biological parameters of farm women were measured after working at least half an hour at their farms during summer season. A positive significant relationship was found between air temperature and oral temperature of farm women. A significant negative relationship was found between air velocity and heart rate of farm women.
