We designed a special surveillance system to detect health complaints of visitors to the 1982 World's Fair. Heat-related illness occurred during the first month of the Fair but was substantially reduced by public education, environmental modification, and provision of additional water fountains. There was no disruption of emergency health services in the communities surrounding the Fair. Advance planning and the provision of on-site medical services can minimize the public health impact of large gatherings.
我们设计了一个特殊的监测系统,以检测1982年世界博览会参观者的健康投诉。在世博会的第一个月就出现了与热相关的疾病,但通过公众教育、环境改善和增设饮水机,这种情况大幅减少。博览会周边社区的紧急医疗服务没有中断。预先规划和提供现场医疗服务可以将大型集会对公众健康的影响降至最低。
