BUDAPEST, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- A Hungarian scientific paper published on Sunday warns people of the extreme heatwaves' effects on human health. According to the paper, entitled "The effects of climate change on our health and healthsystem," the research by experts of Hungarian National Public...
NEW DELHI, June 4 (Xinhua) -- The Indian government has issued a health advisory for people to stay safe in view of the intense heat-wave conditions prevailing in some parts of the country. "Heat-waves can cause adverse effects on human health, including other sectors," the advisory issued...
Health effectsHuman healthMortalityHealth indicators, for both mortality and morbidity, have been frequently associated with extreme hot temperatures. Many studies have found the existence of a minimum temperature of mortality, named comfort temperature. Another temperature from which a sudden increase in ...
The co-occurrence of consecutive hot and humid days during a heat wave can strongly affect human health. Here, we quantify humid heat wave hazard in the recent past and at different levels of global warming. We find that the magnitude and apparent temperature peak of heat waves, such as the...
Increasing average temperatures and heat waves are having devasting impacts on human health and well-being but studies of heat impacts and how people adapt
We study heat waves with high impact on human health in Europe.Strong correlations are found between heat wave amplitude and mortality excess.A quantile–quantile adjustment is applied to correct biases in RCMs.Projections suggest increases in heat wave frequency, duration and amplitude.Projections ind...
In urban regions, these future heat waves will be exacerbated by the urban heat island effect, and will have the potential to negatively influence the health and welfare of urban residents. In order to investigate the health effects of the urban heat island (UHI) in Shanghai, China, 30years...
We have seen the impacts that extreme weather events can have on human health, infrastructure, and ecosystems. To design effective solutions, we need to better understand the extent to which global warming drives changes in these extreme events. Jared Trok, Ph.D. Student and Study Lead Author...
Hot summer days are often welcomed by many Canadians, but climate scientists are warning that increasingly frequent heat waves can be dangerous and may cause severe health issues. Every Canadian has a different idea of what makes a “hot” da...
