This document summarizes research on heat strain, hydration status, and heat illness symptoms in surface mine workers. It finds that core body temperature increases with both exercise intensity and environmental heat stress. Sweating is the primary method of heat loss, with sweat rates ranging from 0.5-2.0 L/hr. Dehydration leads to higher core temperatures during exercise in heat, with temperatures rising 0.1-0.25°C for each 1% decrease in body mass. Maintaining hydration is important for reducing heat str
