Impact of Climate Change on Health

March 28, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

In Measuring the health effects from climate change can only be very approximate. A WHO assessment concluded that climate change is expected to cause approximately 250,000 additional deaths per year between 2030 and 2050; 38,000 due to heat exposure in elderly people; 48,000 due to diarrhea; 60,000 due to malaria; and 95,000 due to childhood undernutrition.

According to the PA DEP, Pennsylvanians will be faced with worsened air quality, increased damage from flooding, agricultural losses, and expansion of vector-borne diseases like Lyme Disease due to climate change.
