- Air pollution accounts for about 6 percent of deaths each year in Austria, France, and Switzerland, according to a study published in the Lancet medical journal. The study found that half of the those deaths can be attributed to pollution from vehicles.

- During 1999--2003, a total of 3,442 deaths resulting from exposure to extreme heat were reported (annual mean: 688). For 2,239 (65%) of these deaths, the underlying cause of death was recorded as exposure to excessive heat; for the remaining 1,203 (35%), hyperthermia was recorded as a contributing factor.Deaths among males accounted for 66% of deaths and outnumbered deaths among females in all age groups (Figure. 65 years.pproximately 70% of these heat-related cardiovascular deaths occurred among persons with reported chronic ischemic heart disease. External causes (e.g., unintentional poisonings) were documented as the underlying cause of 345 (29%) deaths in which hyperthermia was a contributing factor.

Hot and Bothered The latter fact reveals that the squabble over air conditioning isn’t just about one’s social status and affiliation. It’s a matter of public health. Heat waves kill at least as readily as cold, causing hundreds of deaths every year in the United States.

- Excess heat deaths due to climate change should not get as much attention as the potential for death due to reduction in crop yields due to increased heat and drought, regional collapses of the oceanic food chain from the steady acidification of the oceans, and the wars these conditions might trigger.

Phylloxera Grape Vine Louse When France lost almost 75% of its vines, the government began to take the louse seriously. It offered rewards for a solution to this problem. Answered poured in, ranging from the ridiculous to the almost-practical. Flooding the vines and using carbon bisulphide to kill the pests both worked, but both were very difficult to carry out on all vineyards. The answer came in the realization that American rootstock had long since developed a resistance to this louse.

Heat Waves: The Details At the same time, low-humidity heat waves associated with droughts and fueled in part by climate change contribute to the dry conditions that are driving wild fires.3 4. Numerous studies have documented that human-induced climate change has increased the frequency and severity of heat waves across the globe.5 6 7 8 9.

Most Deadly of the Natural Disasters: The Heat Wave Other deadly heat waves in the United States occurred in New York City in 1972, when 891 died; in Los Angeles in 1955, when 946 died; and across the Midwest in 1980, when hundreds were killed. Perhaps surprisingly, cities that suffer most in heat waves are not those in the hottest zones.

France and its many climates The climate of eastern and southern France is particularly influenced by the nature and direction of the wind. La Bise is the dry east wind that can blow over from central Europe; in winter it can be bitterly cold, in summer blisteringly hot. Blocked over France by the Atlantic weather systems and by the Massif Central.

11 Facts About Heat Waves 1 Heat waves kill more Americans than other natural disasters such as floods, lightning, tornadoes, and hurricanes. 2  Young children and adults over the age of 65 are most likely to experience heat exhaustion or other heat-related illness. 3  In July 1995, Chicago, Illinois experienced a heat wave that caused over 700 deaths.

Formation of cold waves In those northern areas cold air develops to a large reservoir due to low or even missing solar radiation during short autumn and winter days. Particular weather conditions can transport these air masses as far as Central Europe. The fall of temperature is of the order of 10°C within a few hours. Cold air masses are only slowly moving, therefore, a cold wave will normally last for several days. Cold waves can also develop on other continents. During a cold wave on Rhode Island (USA) temperatures as low as -45°C were measured in January 1994. The cold air masses transport only little moisture. Precipitation occurs as snow or sleet due to temperatures below freezing point. Cold waves can also be accompanied by strong wind.

- Heat exhaustion is a more common and less extreme manifestation of heat-related illness in which the core temperature is between 37°C (98.6°F) and 40°C. Symptoms of heat exhaustion are milder than those of heatstroke, and include dizziness, thirst, weakness, headache, and malaise.

- Air Pollution/Smog: This encompasses many greenhouse gases. Emissions from traffic and manufacturing plants form smog as UV radiation and heat cause the necessary chemical reactions to take place. As a result, the amounts of UV radiation reaching the surface is smaller under these conditions.

Toxic hotspot The 1984 Bhopal disaster in India, the world’s worst chemical disaster, is a prime example of a significant toxic hotspot. The toxic gas leaked from the understaffed Union Carbide plant killed up to 20,000 people and left 120,000 others chronically ill.

Do You Know the Danger of Turning on the A/C After Starting the Engine? Claim: Automobile components emit dangerous levels of cancer-causing benzene fumes.he reason has nothing to do with benzene levels, however; rather, it's because when a car is parked in the sun with its windows rolled up, that condition can create a greenhouse effect which causes the interior of the vehicle to warm up to a temperature considerably higher than that of the outside air.

Mideast Hit With 165F Heat, 'Highest Ever Recorded' Last month in Pakistan, a heat wave killed more than 1,200 people, Al Jazeera reports. The temperatures in the Middle East are expected to remain high for the next few days, according to The Weather Channel, leading some countries to order mandatory days off to keep people from venturing into the heat.

- London Smog of 1952 focused the world’s attention on the problem of air pollution, and since. then there has been a marked improvement in air quality in developed countries. Nevertheless, every year outdoor air pollution is responsible for the death of hundreds of. children in Europe, and of more than 24 000 globally. Industrial growth and rapid urbanization aggravate the problem, with the pressure felt most. acutely in the megacities of the developing world.

Heat Waves: The Details For instance, a thorough statistical analysis of the Russian heat wave suggests that there was an approximate 80% probability that the 2010 July Russian heat record would not have occurred without climate warming, or alternatively the probability increased by a factor of five.10 11.

How Does a Heat Wave Affect the Human Body? But when sustained heat waves hit a region, the other health ramifications can be serious, including sunstroke and even major organ damage due to heat. The Chicago heat wave in the summer of 1995 killed an estimated 692 people and sent at least 3,300 people to the emergency room.
