The extent to which climate change influences the prevalence and incidence of respiratory morbidity remains largely undefined. However, evidence is increasing that climate change does drive respiratory disease onset and exacerbation as a result of increased ambient and indoor air pollution, desertification, heat stress, wildfires, and the geographic and temporal spread of pollens, molds and infectious agents. Preliminary research has revealed climate change to have potentially direct and indirect adverse impacts on respiratory health. Published studies have linked climate change to increases in respiratory disease, including the following: changing pollen releases impacting asthma and allergic rhinitis, heat waves causing critical care-related diseases, climate driven air pollution increases, exacerbating asthma and COPD, desertification increasing particulate matter (PM) exposures, and climate related changes in food and water security impacting infectious respiratory disease through malnutrition (pneumonia, upper respiratory infections). High level ozone and ozone exposure has been linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, and acute lower respiratory infection. Global Climate Change and Public Health is an important new volume based on the research, findings, and discussions of US and international experts on respiratory health and climate change. This volume addresses issues of major importance to respiratory health and fills a major gap in the current literature. 000695641 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 1, 2013). 000695641 650_0 $$aEnvironmental health. 000695641 650_0 $$aClimatic changes. 000695641 7001_ $$aPinkerton, Kent Ed,$$d1950-,$$eeditor of compilation. 000695641 7001_ $$aRom, William N.,$$eeditor of compilation. 000695641 830_0 $$aRespiratory medicine (New York, N.Y.) 000695641 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000695641 85640 $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-8417-2$$zOnline Access 000695641 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-8417-2$$zOnline Access 000695641 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:695641$$pGLOBAL_SET 000695641 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000695641 980__ $$aBIB 000695641 982__ $$aEbook 000695641 983__ $$aOnline 000695641 994__ $$a92$$bISE
