Although it has been defined as an extension of pneumoconiosis, there is no scientific evidence for a similar disease related to volcanic silica particle exposures. [8] Subsequently, the word was used in Frank Scully's puzzle book Bedside Manna, after which time, members of the N.P.L. campaigned to include the word in major dictionaries. [9] [10]
Climate hazards, such as flooding, heat waves and drought have worsened more than half of the hundreds of known infectious The post Worsening of infectious diseases connected to climate change ...
A literature review in 2016 found that generally there is an increase in diarrheal disease (except for viral diarrheal disease) during or after certain weather conditions: elevated ambient temperature, heavy rainfall, and flooding. [41] These three weather conditions are predicted to increase (or to intensify) with climate change in future.
Researchers looked through the medical literature of established cases of illnesses and found that 218 out of the known 375 human infectious diseases, or 58%, seemed to be made worse by one of 10 ...
Climate change is altering the geographic range and seasonality of some insects that can carry diseases, for example Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that is the vector for dengue transmission. Global climate change has increased the occurrence of some infectious diseases. Infectious diseases whose transmission is impacted by climate change include, for example, vector-borne diseases like dengue ...
Severe weather can occur under a variety of situations, but three characteristics are generally needed: a temperature or moisture boundary, moisture, and (in the event of severe, precipitation-based events) instability in the atmosphere.
Climate change makes extreme weather events more likely, including ozone smog events, dust storms, and elevated aerosol levels, all due to extreme heat, drought, winds, and rainfall. [ 45 ] [ 46 ] These extreme weather events can increase the likelihood of undernutrition , mortality, food insecurity , and climate-sensitive infectious diseases ...
The average and variations of weather in a region over long periods of time, which can be related to surface variables such as temperature, precipitation and wind. climate change Includes both global warming and its effects, such as changes to precipitation, rising sea levels, and impacts that differ by region.
