Here, we determine rest-break requirements for the farmworkers of the Imperial and Coachella Valleys in southern California, which have a high poverty rate and the highest heat-illness rates in California. We used high-resolution outputs from a validated Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF...
At the same time, the South Asia’s GDP was only slightly higher than that of sub-Saharan Africa [43], suggesting that the high levels in these regions are likely due to poverty and malnutrition. Therefore, effectively addressing issues such as malnutrition and exposure to air pollution may ...
Researchers have estimated the potential influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on global poverty levels, projecting that approximately 1.2 million individuals within each country may become infected. This phenomenon may be attributed to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in ...

(long thin pipes full of ice), study the air bubbles at different depths, and calculate how much carbon dioxide they contain. If they figure out how old the ice is, they can use an ice core as a kind of graph of how carbon dioxide has changed over time. Scientists can also study ...
progressive CKD can also exacerbate poverty (see later discussion). Sex and gender further influence the causes of CKD, the profile of comorbidities and disease evolution over time39. These differences are probably driven by complex biological, social and system-level factors. For example, women are...
The graph above represents the latest update; updates are usually made within the first week of every month. Contrary to some reports, the satellite measurements are not calibrated in any way with the global surface-based thermometer records of temperature. They instead use their own on-board pre...
Fig. 2: Distributions over nowcast (0-day lead time) precision and recall as a function of return period. a,b, The AI model is more reliable, on average, over all return periods. The AI model has precision over 5-year return period events that is not statistically different to GloFAS...
Moreover, the complex interplay of socioeconomic factors, including poverty, urbanization, and industrial growth, complicates efforts to achieve meaningful reductions in air pollution levels (Tahir et al., 2023). Moving forward, sustained political commitment, strengthened institutional capacity, and ...
The recent United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) special report on ‘Global Warming of 1.5°C’[1] aims to strengthen “the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty” –something we can surely all get ...
