Question

4. Briefly state four effects of high humidity onliving organisms​

Answer 1

Answer:

During high humidity, the evaporation of sweat from the body is reduced. Blood relies on the conduction of heat from the body to the atmosphere to cool.

In high humidity conditions, blood does not get rid of excessive heat, and it may lead to hyperthermia. Since most of the blood is heading to the body’s surface, the internal organs such as the brain receive less blood leading to fatigue and reduced physical strength. Humidity also has impacts on electronic devices and refineries and chemical plants which employ the use of furnaces.

It affects the animal's health, it causes dieseases and it can cause viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

high relative humidity decreased the evaporation rate and increased animal heat stress.
