Tóm tắt :

This publication assesses the effects that climate change may have on the environment in Europe and the health of its populations. Written in non-technical language, it responds to growing public and political concern about the consequences of such widely publicized phenomena as global warming and stratospheric ozone depletion. The book also responds to evidence that recent warming trends in Europe have already affected health. It opens with a brief explanation of the causes of climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion, followed by an overview of recent European and global initiatives aimed at monitoring trends and assessing their impact on health. Chapter 1 summarizes currently documented trends in climate change in Europe and provides a scenario of possible changes throughout the rest of this century. Chapter 2 reviews scientific evidence on specific health consequences. These include effects related to increased episodes of thermal stress and air pollution; changes in foodborne, water-related, vector-borne and rodent-borne diseases; mortality from floods and other weather extremes; and changes in the production of aeroallergens associated with respiratory disorders, including asthma. Chapter 3 considers health effects linked to stratospheric ozone depletion, giving particular attention to adverse effects on the eye and immune system, and skin cancer. The remaining chapters discuss health effects expected in the next decade and outline actions urgently needed in the areas of policy, monitoring and surveillance, and research. xii, 116 p.
