28 Μαΐ 2024 · Key facts. Heat is an important environmental and occupational health hazard. Heat stress is the leading cause of weather-related deaths and can exacerbate underlying illnesses including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mental health, asthma, and can increase the risk of accidents and transmission of some infectious diseases.
7 Φεβ 2020 · The risk of erosion will become even higher in the future due to emissions-driven temperature changes, with resulting decreases in agricultural production, land value and human health. What Are the Impacts of Soil Erosion? We’re already seeing the risks of soil erosion play out around the world.
Heatwaves can burden health and emergency services and also increase strain on water, energy and transportation resulting in power shortages or even blackouts. Food and livelihood security may also be strained if people lose their crops or livestock due to extreme heat.
15 Μαΐ 2024 · Increases in “heat domes,” due to the trapping of hot air over large areas by high pressure aloft, have caused elevated temperatures and heat waves in many regions in recent years.
Climate change impacts human health in both direct and indirect ways. Extreme heat waves, rising sea level, changes in precipitation resulting in flooding and droughts, and intense hurricanes can directly cause injury, illness, and even death.
Increases in injuries, illnesses and deaths from high temperatures resulted in increased research on identifying 1) thresholds for adverse health outcomes; 2) populations particularly vulnerable to heat exposures; and 3) effective interventions to prevent adverse health outcomes.
