Heat Exposure and Human Health in the Context of Climate Change

Heat Exposure and Human Health in the Context of Climate Change  introduces the effects of heat on human health, especially in the  context of climate change. The book utilizes case studies in addition to  foundational knowledge and theory to demonstrate the epidemiological  impact of heat, also presenting solutions for addressing this important  public health issue. It is clearly organized to aid in understanding key  questions such as why and how heat exposure impacts health, who are  most vulnerable to heat exposure, and how to reduce the impacts of heat  exposure.

Providing guidance on public policy development as well  as individual protection, this book is an interdisciplinary resource  for researchers and policymakers in both public health and environmental  science fields.
