Summarise some of the likely impacts of climate change on human health by Lisa Steciuk https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7 en-us 2020-06-22 01:15:06 UTC 2026-02-09 07:19:11 UTC hello@padlet.com aly https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635473363 - rising temperatures --> dehydration and increased heat-related illnesses such as heat strokes 
- worse air quality due to increased GG emissions lead --> allergies, respiratory illnesses 
-  vector-borne diseases such as malaria and lyme disease will increase due to prolonged warm seasons and increase in humidity in some areas due to changes in precipitation. 
- extreme weather: increased wildfires will cause respiratory illnesses, injuries. Increased storms and flooding could lead to water and food contamination. ]]> 2020-06-22 01:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635473363 Chris chch21 https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635473374 Impacts
-Sea level rise: Storm Surges: Flooding:  Stress, anxiety and trauma - Food and water shortages - Prevalence of water born disease - Infrastructure damage

-Rising temperature: Frequent, prolonged heat waves and heat island effect, Introduction of pests, longer disease transmission seasons, Increased production of pollens and spores: Decreased air quality - Heat related death - Increased allergies

rising temperatures increase the vector-borne disease and allergies as there is more pollen and spores. 

rising sea levels would destroy infrastructure, contaminate the water and increase the prevalence of water-borne diseases.]]> 2020-06-22 01:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635473426 Kiki https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635473518 Sea level rise -->  Storm surges and flooding --> 
- Stress anxiety and trauma
- Food and water contamination and/or shortages
-Increased prevalence of water-borne contaminants and pathogens 
- Infrastructure and property damage

Rising temperature --> more frequent, severe, and prolonged heat waves and urban “heat island” effects -->
- Decreased air quality due to heat (smog)
-Heat-related deaths]]> 2020-06-22 01:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635473518 Sam W https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635473539 One hazard of climate change is sea level rise which can exacerbate the occurrence of storm surges and flooding. This can have social impacts such as stress, anxiety, trauma, food and water contamination or shortages which can result in undernutrition or malnutrition,  increased prevalence of water-borne pathogens and contaminants such as cholera and malaria, disruption of health services and power outages.

Another hazard is more extreme weather. This can result in increased frequency and intensity of storms, more frequent or prolonged droughts and more wildfires. Consequently, this can mean injury, death, mental health issues such as stress, anxiety and trauma, food and water shortages which can result in dehydration and undernutrition, increased waterborne pathogens such as malaria and typhoid, exacerbation of respiratory conditions such as asthma and emphysema.

- Increase cases of waterborne and vector borne disease 
- Risk human lives from disasters and extreme weather
- More respiratory illnesses due to the air quality 
- Rising sea levels can cause food and water contamination as well as shortages.

It could also result in potential wild fires as seen in Australia early in 2020, increasing the risk to exacerbation of respiratory diseases including asthma. ]]> 2020-06-22 01:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635473936 Ayumi https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635474011 - climate change hazards are impacting health determinants (community and individuals)
- WHO has identified climate change as the biggest global health threat of the 21st century
-rising temperature leads to changes in infectious agents which may lead to introduction of new pests affecting food/crop production --> may affect the supply of food --> food shortage?]]> 2020-06-22 01:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635474011 Dev https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635474034 iclimate changes has many health impacts both physical and psychological. 
Populations and community health are affected by factors called health determinant.

Sea levels rising means food supply are at risk, as well as health services. Causing increased damage to property and infrastructure. In people that may lead to oveerall increases in stress, anxiety adn trauma]]> 2020-06-22 01:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635474034 Katie https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635474036 - storm surges -> short term flooding, food and water contamination, infrastructure damage, stress/trauma
- long-term flooding: food and water contamination, population displacement, water borne pathogens
- rising temperature could cause more frequent and severe heat waves which could decrease air quality, cause heat related illnesses e.g. heat stroke and may also impact mental health. Rising temperatures may also cause changes in infection agents and new pests.

- Extreme weather> injury, death, water-borne illnesses, stress & anxiety
- Air quality impact> allergy-related diseases
- Vector borne diseases> Changes in vector behavior, expanding their global range from changing weather patterns. ]]> 2020-06-22 01:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635474041 renee rekw21 https://padlet.com/list4/e4xgdjh8dorg4fd7/wish/635474671 Increased frequency and intensity of storm surges can cause the collapse of infrastructure and more water contamination which will cause injury and lead to infections 

More frequent heat waves, will cause aggravated cardio vascular diseases as people fail to cope with changing climates.
