Health Risks Due To Climate Change: Inequity In Causes And Consequences

Assessing climate change causes, risks and opportunities in forestry

Forests play an important role in regulating the global climate by storing carbon that would otherwise be released as CO2 to the atmosphere, and affecting the global energy balance through absorption of solar radiation. Forests are also affected directly by the impact of increased CO2 levels and temperatures on ecosystem processes, and indirectly by human responses seeking to mitigate the net e...

Occupational Exposure to Styrene Vapor and Determining Risks of Health Consequences in Petrochemical Industry Workers

Introduction: Styrene (C₆H₅CH=CH₂) is known as one of the volatile organic substances produced or used in petrochemical industries. Exposure to this chemical compound can thus lead to respiratory diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate occupational exposure to styrene vapor and to determine the risks of its health consequences in petrochemical industry workers through a quantitative m...

Climate change impacts and risks for animal health in Asia.

The threat of climate change and global warming is now recognised worldwide and some alarming manifestations of change have occurred. The Asian continent, because of its size and diversity, may be affected significantly by the consequences of climate change, and its new status as a 'hub' of livestock production gives it an important role in mitigating possible impacts of climate variability on ...
