heat exposure
Too much warmth
Heat exposure is the condition of being subjected to high temperatures, whether from environmental sources like sun and weather or from artificial sources like furnaces and industrial equipment.
The term appears most often in medical and occupational contexts: Workers face heat exposure risks in summer months.
Prolonged heat exposure can cause heat exhaustion, heatstroke, or death.
Safety guidelines typically specify limits on heat exposure duration and intensity.
