Health Tip: Climate Change Affects Health

Advert

(HealthDay News) -- Climate change and associated extreme weather pose significant threats to human health.

The American Lung Association mentions these examples:

Warmer temperatures and more droughts mean worsening air pollution from factors such as ozone, dust and wildfires.

Since plants produce more pollen in warmer weather, climate change can mean worsening allergies.

Wildfires, which are more common during drought conditions, can trigger serious problems for asthmatics, and people with heart or lung disease.
