Un efect neașteptat al caniculei: mai multe agresiuni și incidente cu arme de foc

A recent study links extreme temperatures to over 30 lesser-known health conditions, highlighting the impact of heatwaves on public health. The research analyzed nearly a million emergency visits in Chicago from 2011 to 2023, revealing significant increases in diagnoses like skin rashes, acute kidney failure, and mental health disorders during heat events. Urban areas face additional risks due to the urban heat island effect, which exacerbates temperature rises. The findings suggest a correlation between extreme heat and increased incidents of violence and trauma, emphasizing the need for better preparedness for future heatwaves.
