The Science Of Health: How Climate Change And Air Pollution Impact Heart Health, And What Must Be Done

The Science Of Health: This week, in ABP Live's health column, we we explain how climate change and air pollution affect cardiovascular health, and what must be done to reduce heart disease risk.

Climate change severely impacts one's health due to changing temperature and weather patterns, and increasing levels of greenhouse gases. Fossil fuel combustion results in air pollution and extreme heat, which are linked to increases in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Climate change and cardiovascular health: Welcome back to "The Science Of Health", ABP Live's weekly health column. Last time, we explained how reheating food and cooking food at high temperatures change its chemical constituents, and how these are linked to increased heart disease risk. This week, we explain how climate change and air pollution affect cardiovascular health, which communities are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and what must be done to reduce the risk of heart
