What Are the Effects of Climate Change on Environmental Health?
Climate change exacerbates many environmental health issues by altering the distribution and concentration of pollutants. For instance, rising temperatures can increase the formation of ground-level ozone, a harmful air pollutant. Additionally, climate change can affect the geographical spread of vector-borne diseases, posing new health risks. Toxicology helps in understanding these complex interactions and guiding adaptation strategies to mitigate health impacts.
