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.
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.
21 Αυγ 2021 · Key messages. •. People are unnecessarily suffering and dying in the heat, with population health and community vulnerability often unrecognised. •. Other heat-related effects include reduced occupational health and productivity, and increased sports illnesses and injuries. •.
24 Νοε 2020 · Globally, heat waves account for dramatic increases in mortality and morbidity; however, there is increasing awareness that day-to-day increases in temperature contribute to a significant risk of heat-related morbidity and mortality (HRMM) that over one or more warm seasons may exceed the public health burden of heat waves.
7 Οκτ 2021 · Record breaking heat events, once rare, are now common.1 An extra 475 million exposures to heatwaves (that is, one person experiencing three days or more of extreme heat) were observed globally in 2019 compared with 1986-2005.2 Clear evidence links the intensity and frequency of heat extremes to human induced global warming, which also ...
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.
