Background: Environmental health is a growing area of knowledge, continually increasing
and updating the body of evidence linking the environment to human health. Aim: This study …

The impact of heat waves and cold spells on mortality has become a major public health
problem worldwide, especially among older adults living in low-to middle-income countries …

In this study, a total of 90 definitions were set up based on six air pollution definitions, five
cold spell definitions, and three combined exposure scenarios. The relative risks (RRs) on …

We explored the impact of heavy PM2. 5 pollution events on the health of residents in 250
counties in China. A time-series approach involving a two-stage analysis was applied to …

Background: Many studies have investigated the devastating health effects of heat waves,
but less is known about health risks related to cold spells, despite evidence that extreme …

Heatwaves are projected to increase in frequency, intensity, and duration as the climate
warms. However, it is unclear whether human mortality from heatwaves is changing in …

Background Both extreme temperature events (ETEs) and air pollution affected human
health, and their effects were often not independent. Previous studies have provided limited …

Publications on ambient temperature-related mortality among Arctic or subarctic populations
are extremely rare. While circumpolar areas cover large portions of several European …

With rapid warming since the mid‐20th century, China has experienced remarkable
changes in the extreme temperatures. We use the updated observational data and the …

Understanding how built environment attributes affect health remains important. While many
studies have explored the objective characteristics of built environments that affect health …
