In an effort to raise awareness about the susceptibility of children to heatstroke, NHK WORLD-JAPAN has shared important safety measures to protect the young ones during hot weather. The video highlights the risks associated with children’s underdeveloped temperature regulation abilities, the impact of reflected light due to their shorter stature, and the heightened temperatures they experience, especially when in strollers. The video emphasizes the importance of protective clothing and limiting outdoor playtime.
- Children’s temperature regulating functions are not fully developed, increasing their risk of heatstroke.
- Due to their shorter height, children are more exposed to reflected light, which can raise the temperature they feel compared to adults.
- At an adult’s face level, the temperature might be 32 degrees Celsius, but at a child’s face level, it could be 35 degrees Celsius.
- Temperatures inside a stroller can be significantly higher on hot days, posing an additional risk.
- It is crucial for children to wear hats and limit their time playing outdoors to prevent heatstroke.
