How Climate Change Impacts Human Health?
In our previous article, we saw that
the biggest effects of climate change are highly visible on the
season cycle. The greatest damage to the changing weather cycle is happening on
animals. Due to the increasing incidence of fire in the forest, many species
are forced to find new places.
Climate change is a fact, even though
many big leaders around the world are not taking it seriously even today. In
this article, we will see how climate change is directly impacting human
health.

health.
Heart-related diseases will increase
Global warming will cause an increase
in heatwaves. Studies have shown that high levels of air pollution can lead to a large increase in heart disease-related problems.
A new modification has found that high temperatures and ozone together can
impair heart health. Air temperature and ozone can be bad for the heart because
they affect the functions of the automatic nervous system.
According to the American Heart
Association, this system helps the body to adapt to the environment. It
regulates body functions, including the electrical activity of the heart and air
flow in the lungs.
High temperatures can make the body more sensitive to toxins.
Increased allergic diseases

Increased allergic diseases
Studies show that allergy-related diseases
are on the rise in developed countries. Due to which the level of carbon
dioxide can rise and the temperature can be warmer.
Increase in natural disasters

Increase in natural disasters
Global warming is increasing the
incidence of natural disasters, including intense heat waves, floods and major
storms, which can increase mortality. Heat and drought can prove to be the
deadliest natural disasters.
A study reviewing weather disasters in the US since 1980 found that heatwaves
and the accompanying droughts were the most responsible for deaths from natural
disasters.
A study in 2007 found that heatwaves
in Europe have almost doubled from 100 years ago. In the region, a mega heatwave in 2003 killed around 70,000 people.
New deserts will be formed

New deserts will be formed
Due to climate change, areas like
deserts may increase. Soil quality is getting worse in dry areas. A 2010 study
found that 38 percent of the world's deserts are made up of arid regions. Once
decomposed, the soil becomes unproductive. It reduces the area of land that is being used for agriculture which is used to feed the
growing population of the world.
Global desert soil can also promote the
growth of harmful bacteria in the sea. A study presented in February last year
at the American Association for the Advancement of Science found that desert
dust promotes the growth of Vibrios, a group of ocean bacteria that cause
gastroenteritis like diseases in people.
Seawater samples found that, within 24
hours of mixing desert dust from Morocco, Vibrios saw a 10 to 1000 times
increase, which could cause eye, ear, and open wound infections and cholera,
"Georgia University study said. The increase in these types of bacteria
means more people can get sick because they consume contaminated seafood.

Chances of spreading diseases
Due to climate change, an excessive increase in heat and rainfall in some areas can lead to the spread of disease.
There are some vector-borne diseases or diseases that include mosquitoes, ticks. Vector-borne diseases in which an insect acts as a disease-spreading agent. Vectors are cold-blooded, they depend on their surrounding environment to control their internal heat. The rise in temperature can potentially cause diseases like malaria to spread to new areas.
In the rainy season, the relation of water-borne diseases can be directly linked to increased rainfall.

क्लाइमेट चेंज का मानवी स्वास्थ्य पर क्या प्रभाव हो रहा हैं?
हमारे पिछले आर्टिकल में हमने देखा की जलवायु परिवर्तन का सबसे बड़ा प्रभाव ऋतु चक्र (Season cycle) पर अत्यधिक दिखाई दे रहा हैं. बदलते मौसम चक्र का सबसे ज्यादा नुक्सान प्राणियों पर हो रहा हैं. जंगल में बढ़ती हुयी आग की घटनाओं की वजह से प्राणियों कई प्रजातियां नए स्थान ढूंढने पर मजबूर हैं.
क्लाइमेट चेंज एक सच्चाई हैं, भले ही दुनिया भर के कई बड़े नेता इसे आज भी गंभीरता से नहीं ले रहे हैं. इस आर्टिकल में हम ये देखेंगे की क्लाइमेट चेंज का सीधा असर मानव जाती स्वास्थ्य पर कैसे हो रहा हैं.
ह्रदय से सम्बंधित बीमारियों में वृद्धि होगी
एक नए संशोधन में पाया गया हैं कि उच्च तापमान और ओजोन मिलकर हृदय के स्वास्थ्य को खराब कर सकते हैं. हवा का तापमान और ओजोन हृदय के लिए बुरा हो सकता है क्योंकि वे आटोमेटिक नर्वस सिस्टम के कार्यों को प्रभावित करते हैं. आटोमेटिक नर्वस सिस्टम सेंट्रल नर्वस सिस्टम का एक हिस्सा है. अमेरिकन हार्ट एसोसिएशन के अनुसार यह सिस्टम शरीर को वातावरण के अनुकूल बनाने में मदद करता हैं. यह शरीर के कार्यों को नियंत्रित करता है, जिसमें हृदय की विद्युत गतिविधि और फेफड़ों में वायु प्रवाह शामिल हैं.
उच्च तापमान शरीर को टॉक्सिन्स के प्रति अधिक संवेदनशील बना सकता है.
एलर्जिक बीमारियों का बढ़ना
प्राकृतिक आपदा में बढ़ोतरी
2007 में एक अध्ययन में पाया गया कि यूरोप में गर्मी की लहरें 100 साल पहले की में अब लगभग दोगुनी हो चुकी हैं. इस क्षेत्र में 2003 में एक मेगा हीट वेव की वजह से लगभग 70,000 लोग मारे गए थे.
नए रेगिस्तान बनेंगे
वैश्विक रेगिस्तानी मिटटी से समुद्र में हानिकारक जीवाणुओं की वृद्धि को भी बढ़ावा मिल सकता हैं. फरवरी में अमेरिकन एसोसिएशन फॉर द एडवांसमेंट ऑफ साइंस की बीते साल की बैठक में प्रस्तुत एक अध्ययन में पाया गया कि रेगिस्तान की धूल समुद्र के बैक्टीरिया के एक समूह विब्रियोस के विकास को बढ़ावा देती है, जो लोगों में गैस्ट्रोएंटेरिटिस और संक्रामक रोगों का कारण बनते हैं.
समुद्री जल के नमूनों में पाया गया कि, मोरक्को से रेगिस्तान की धूल को मिलाने के 24 घंटों के भीतर, विब्रियोस में 10 से 1000 गुना वृद्धि देखी, जो आंख, कान और खुले घाव में संक्रमण और हैजा का कारण बन सकता है, " जॉर्जिया विश्वविद्यालय के अध्ययनकर्ता ने इस बैठक में कहा, इस प्रकार के जीवाणुओं में वृद्धि का मतलब अधिक लोग बीमार हो सकते हैं क्योंकि वे दूषित समुद्री भोजन का सेवन करते हैं.
बीमारियां फैलने के आसार
जलवायु परिवर्तन की वजह से कुछ क्षेत्रों में गर्मी और वर्षा में अत्याधिक वृद्धि से रोग फैलने की स्थिति बन सकती हैं.
कुछ वेक्टर-जनित रोग या बीमारियां हैं जिसमें मच्छर, टिक शामिल हैं. वेक्टर-जनित रोग बीमारियां जिनमें एक कीट, एक रोग का प्रसार करने वाले एजेंट जैसा कार्य करता हैं. वैक्टर ठंडे खून के होते हैं, वे अपनी आंतरिक गर्मी को नियंत्रित करने के लिए अपने आसपास के वातावरण पर निर्भर होते हैं. तापमान में वृद्धि संभावित रूप से मलेरिया जैसी बीमारियों को नए नए क्षेत्र में प्रसार का कारण बन सकती हैं.
वर्षा के मौसम में जलजनित (water borne) रोगों का सम्बन्ध सीधा बढ़ी हुई वर्षा को जोड़ा जा सकता हैं.
