Human health

Abstract

Climate-change-induced temperature rise is judged as having a potentially detrimental effect on human health in the region, but definitive environmental information needs to be measured. A regional biometeorological data base should be established, with easy PC-based access by the various public health agencies within the area's countries. In addition, epidemiological data are needed on the relation between nutrition and disease, particularly focused on potential long-term changes in dietary habits associated with changes in the food supply. -Author
