Potential impact of climate change on temperature and humidity related human health effects during extreme condition

Abstract

In this study, in addition to considering the two dominant climatic domains during extreme condition in the study area, temperature and humidity, and determining the correlation and correlation of these two factors with the prevalence of rotavirus gastroenteritis, a statistical model was proposed to predict the prevalence of the disease. Although this research, like many earlier studies, has been based on statistical data for a period of three years, according to its primary objectives, the short-term risk of the disease has been zoned using GIS software, and this point is new. The distinction between the present study and previous studies is considered. Previous studies did not consider the relationship between climate change and gastroenteritis GE. So, the purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the number of patients admitted in the hospital with symptoms of gastroenteritis GE and the monthly climatic variables of temperature and humidity of rotavirus, maximum, mean during extreme condition, at least in the city of Ahvaz, in three levels and its suburbs. The results showed a high prevalence of rotavirus infection in children in Ahvaz at low temperature. The maximum rotavirus activity was determined at 13°C. Also, the highest number of patients with symptoms of rotavirus gastroenteritis was observed in autumn and early winter. It is suggested that the results of this study should be considered in determining the timing of vaccination during extreme condition.

Examining the association between dust and sediment and evaluating the impact of climate change on dust and providing adaptation

“…The average flow of the Karkheh River is 200 cubic meters per second and the flow of the river is about 12 billion cubic meters per year. The average rate of soil erosion in the basin is 16 tons per hectare per year, which unfortunately at the level of 430 thousand hectares of soil erosion in the basin is about 26 tons per hectare per year, which is one of the critical areas in terms of planning and prioritization and the first priority is the work of the designated field [16,17] . Figure 1.…”

Analysis and Prioritization the Effective Factors on Increasing Farmers Resilience Under Climate Change and Drought

“…Living among natural hazards does not necessarily mean damage and vulnerability, but the lack of resilience and the amount of knowledge and perception of a population independent of the degree of the type and the risk of causing damage [22,23]. This is why world-class changes in risk perceptions are evolving so that the dominant approach has been to deconstruct and reduce vulnerability to increased resilience to disasters [24,45]. Based on this approach, hazard reduction programs should seek to build resilience in communities and focus on disaster management in the sense of local community resilience.…”

Investigation of the effect of climate change on heat waves

“…Reducing the consequences of heat waves depends on identifying thermal waves, their predictions, discovering ways to reduce their effects on general health and identifying areas that are vulnerable to heat waves [18][19][20][21] . So today, one of the most important concerns about climate hazards is the occurrence of heat waves that affect human societies extensively [22][23][24][25] . The incidence and severity of heat waves in parts of the world have increased in recent years [26][27][28] .…”
