Document Summary
Ggrb28 chapter 9 notes health impacts of global environmental change. Common areas of research of environmental epidemiologists include air and water quality, radiation, contaminated food, and noise. This chapter focuses on broader processes of environmental and ecological change, those with consequences for health are in direct but also indirect. Many of these processes are global in their scale and the health impact will be widespread. In this chapter two broad environmental changes will be considered: the health consequences from ozone losses from the upper atmosphere. Impacts of climate change to the extent to which climate warming is likely to have negative consequences for human health. There is still some uncertainty that is attached to the predicted health consequences. The risk provided by researchers are therefore inevitably wide. The earth s poor population will be among those who are greatly impacted. The impact of greenhouse gases on global climate change have resulted in reduced rainfall in sudan.
