Moreover, this study analyzes the heterogeneity in health effects of natural gas from the perspective of spatial distribution and energy structure. The results indicate that expanding natural gas consumption can significantly reduce the mortality rate. Specifically, an increase in 1 cubic meter in ...
The human health consequences of such a shift have not received as extensive discussion as the GHG effects. Compared to coal plants without emission controls, natural gas plants emit less sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), precursors of particulate matter. Natural gas also has lower...
They also performed a medical-literature review and found 56 articles with information related to the health effects of climate change.Besides forecasting a surge in extremely hot days, researchers also found that climate change could: Increase the number of people suffering respiratory disorders. Ozone...
It might, especially if the smoke hangs around for a long time or keeps coming back. But research on the links between wildfire smoke and mental health is still in its early stages. We need more studies to understand the possible effects better. We do know that that the threat of wildfire...
Still, its networks can be sparse; there are five permanent monitoring stations in the Eagle Ford Shale region, where 7,000 oil and gas wells have been drilled since 2008 [22]. These and other limited networks potentially mask local hot spots, the effects of unique topography, and fugitive ...

A noteworthy aspect of the study is that we measured SOC concentrations to 90 cm depth. Researchers often focus on topsoil layers (0–20 cm) when studying SOC status, potentially masking some treatment effects, especially in crops with different root masses at various soil depths. We found...
Air pollution poses a persuasive threat to global health, demonstrating widespread detrimental effects on populations worldwide. Exposure to pollutants, notably particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 µm (PM2.5), has been unequivocally linked to a s
Effects of Common Chemicals on Health. Large amounts of research on how modern chemicals are damaging human health. Toxicology categories include cancer, immune system damage, neurological damage, and harm to our children.
This flags the need for policy decisions to consider short-, medium-, and long-term effects of fracking—something relevant to all the headings listed so far. Hence it is important their position is addressed in the assessment process. (g) Social determinants of health. These merit inclusion ...
