This image shows the impact of climate change in health.
Increase in air pollution paves way for asthma and cardiovascular disease. Due to extreme weather conditions, water-borne diseases such as cholera, leptospirosis and so on may occur. This may also leads to respiratory allergies. In addition to it, vector-borne diseases such as Malaria and dengue may also occur.
As a result of increasing sea level, infections may spread through water and food supply. This leads to malnutrition, diarrhoea and harmful algal blooms. Hence, steps must be taken to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
