climate change: Rising extreme weather and air pollution pose risks to heart health, new study reveals
Extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, are causing a surge in heart attacks due to the combination of high temperatures and air pollution, according to a study by the American Heart Association. The study found that days with scorching heat and high levels of air pollution particles were linked to a significantly increased risk of death from heart attacks, particularly among women and the elderly. Rising temperatures, attributed to rising carbon dioxide emissions, are also causing disruptions to the environment and exacerbating air pollution.
