Non-optimal temperature is projected to exceed air pollution as a cardiovascular disease risk factor in Europe and North America
Listed in Edmond
Air pollution and non-optimal temperatures exposure both increase the risk of dying from heart and circulatory diseases.
Description
We examined how these risks may change in Europe and North America in the future by combining computer's model projections of climate and air quality with health risk relationships. We found that deaths linked to air pollution are likely to remain stable or decline because of clean-air policies which will reduce pollution exposure.
In contrast, deaths linked to non-optimal temperature are projected to rise strongly. This happens mainly because populations are ageing, and older people are more vulnerable to temperature-related health effects. By the end of the century, non-optimal temperature is expected to cause many more cardiovascular deaths than air pollution in these regions.

These results show that strong air quality policies remain important, but they also highlight the growing need for climate adaptation and public health measures that protect vulnerable populations, especially older adults.
