Abstract

This review assesses the effects of climate change on human health, both direct and indirect. Environmental changes are currently impacting and will continue to impact a variety of population groups differently. Unfortunately, this can increase the risk of developmental changes in humans. Climate change poses varying degrees of health risks, depending on people or groups' sensitivity, exposure, and ability to adapt. Populations with lower incomes, certain racial/immigrant groups, children, pregnant women, the elderly, professionals exposed to hazards, persons with disabilities, and those with pre-existing medical issues are particularly vulnerable. Rising environmental changes can increase weed and pest populations, necessitating herbicide and pesticide use, which may in turn lead to developmental changes in humans.
