Synopsis: |
The sustained heatlth of human populations requires the continued integrity of Earth's natural systems. These systems are now threatened by global climate change and other environmental changes resulting from unsustainable resource use, pollution of air, water and soil, and overcrowding. Here the potential human population health hazards of global climate change are examined. Climate change consequences considered in this text include changes in precipitation, changes in the frequency of extreme weather events, and sea level rise. The potential human health impacts of increased ultraviolet radiation resulting from stratospheric ozone depletion are also discussed. |
