There are few studies on health effects associated with climate change impacts alone on air quality, but these report higher O3-related health burdens in polluted populated regions and greater PM2.5health burdens in these emission regions. Studies that examine the combined impacts of climate change a...
When it comes to the effects of climate change,we usually think of melting icebergs(冰山) and rising sea levels.But few would imagine it could actually impact our mental health as well. A recent study by ecoAmerica and the American Psychological Association found just that.It was discovered ...
