Understanding the impact of climate change on water resources, agriculture and public health is an important issue. It is not an easy task to evaluate the impact of climate change on health. I would like to hear any progress in this area of study.
I guess one way to approach this subject is to first of all identify current trends and patterns in public health data. Where a trend has been established which reveals a depature from previous comparative trends, the next step would be to identify the reasons for these new trends and determine if they are as a result of climate change or not.,
In case of dramatic temperature increase some diseases like malaria will disperse in Western-Europe. Other exemples are infections by tics (lLyme disease) and the hansa virus in Scandinavia
Pls use model to examine then compare with real data. To look if cc impact has influenced in health
Or otherwise..collect the past data and compare with current data. Then look on trend of host condtion /favourable cond of that causative agent.then u can real come with answer eg temp
There were several changes in the climate of Iraq, such as the rainy season extended to May, where the rain did not fall in these periods since more than thirty years ago.
Dear Fikrat, are there any established health issues associated with this new climate type?
Good idea from iyenemi....as i started. Because in real situations u can come with answer that example dengue has errupted due to cc impact
Any of the projections of latitude migration of vector born disease, in my view, are quite ominous. The data case that this is already in place, is currently, unclear but
the various simulations paint a rather grim picture.
