The impact of climate change on heat-related mortality in six major cities, South Korea, under representative concentration pathways (RCPs)
*Correspondence: Yang Liu, Department of Environmental Health, Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, 1518 Clifton Rd. NE, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA e-mail: [email protected] Background: We aimed to quantify the excess mortality associated with increased temperature due to climate change in six major Korean cities under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) which are new emissi...
متن کاملThe representative concentration pathways: an overview
This paper summarizes the development process and main characteristics of the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), a set of four new pathways developed for the climate modeling community as a basis for long-term and near-term modeling experiments. The four RCPs together span the range of year 2100 radiative forcing values found in the open literature, i.e. from 2.6 to 8.5 W/m. The RCPs...
متن کاملProjection of future hot weather events and potential population exposure to this in South Korea
Heat waves, often caused by consecutive severe hot weather events, are responsible for the majority of medical costs associated with climate change in South Korea. In this study, we obtained a regional climate change scenario (RCP4.5) for South Korea, with 7.5 × 7.5 km horizontal resolution and extending up to 2100, by dynamically downscaling from results of the Community Earth System Model (CE...
متن کاملEstimated future incidence of malignant mesothelioma in South Korea: Projection from 2014 to 2033
Malignant mesothelioma is a malignant tumor on the pleura or the peritoneum caused mostly by asbestos. Although asbestos is not currently used in South Korea, the incidence of mesothelioma is increasing due to its long latent period. This study predicted the incidence of malignant mesothelioma in South Korea over the next 20 years using an age-period-cohort (APC) model. Data regarding mesotheli...
متن کاملEmpowerment of Medical Toxicology in South Korea
In a recent issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology (APJMT), the importance of empowering medical toxicology in the Asia Pacific Region has been discussed. In the editorial by Dr. Afshari, it has been stated that national societies of medical toxicology are important infrastructure for the development of medical toxicology, and the Asia Pacific Association of Medical Toxicology ...
