The Effects of Climate Change on Human Health in Iran
Keywords:
Climate Change, Iran, Humans, Health
Abstract
Since counties industrialized huge quantities of green-house gases have been released in atmosphere that has led to increased global temperature. Scientific evidence shows that many world countries including Iran have been hit by climate change. Iran’s temperature is predicted to increase by 1.5-4.5 ºC by 2100 and the frequency of hot extreme temperature events are on the rise. Cardiovascular, respiratory and traumatic deaths have been reported to increase in extreme temperature in Iran. Diseases like malaria, leishmaniasis and cholera may change pattern and appear in provinces not prevalent before.
