Question 4

Multiple Choice

How might air conditioning reduce the number of deaths resulting from heat waves?


A) When a person is standing in front of the air conditioner, the air blowing out replaces the warmer air next to the person's body, allowing conduction, radiation, and evaporation to be more efficient at removing heat from the body.
B) In a cooler room, the temperature difference between a person's body and the air is larger than it is when a person is sitting outside on a hot day. As a result, heat is lost faster in an air-conditioned room.
C) As air conditioning acts to lower the body temperature, less water is lost from a person's body through evaporation, preventing dehydration.
D) all of the above
