Those most at risk are the home-bound who have physical and mental issues. So as part of the effort, the city is focused on increasing risk preparedness by educating home health aids who assist older adults, helping them to identify “the early signs of early heat stress and ...
Urban Heat Island Effect and Climate Change Urban heat island effect and climate change are two interconnected issues that have significant impacts on our environment and society. The urban heat island effect refers to the phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures than their surrounding...
people 65 and older, and those withchronic health conditionslike obesity and heart disease are among those at higher risk. Heat can lead to issues likethe heart stressing to pump more blood, and people may be on medication that canexacerbate...
This research work was funded by the University of Malaya grant under the project Environmental Life Cycle Analysis of Reflective Paving Materials in Tackling the Issues of Urban Heat Island (GPF006A-2019). The first author also acknowledges the scholarship received from Tertiary Education Trust Fund...
Heat and heat-induced problems are important issues for arid and subtropical regions, in particular for highly urbanized areas (IPCC2014; Klemm et al.2015). Due to the urban heat island effect (Oke1987; Coburn2009), urbanized regions can be significantly warmer than the surrounding rural regions...
At a time when the world is rapidly urbanising, civil and environmental engineers, urban planners and policy makers around the globe are faced with the complex issues of how to design and construct urban regions to be sustainable. During this time of unprecedented growth, environmental engineers an...
Research has shown that there is a clear relationship between land surface temperature and the severity of the urban heat island effect2,3,4. Urban heat island has severe implications for many areas of life, including socioeconomic and environmental issues. Air pollution may increase, daytime ...
