Abstract

Climate change, which is the main cause of air and environmental pollution, is a major global challenge that significantly affects human health and causes the premature death of seven million people annually. Environmental changes in the frequency, intensity, type of rainfall and extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, floods, lightning, sandstorms and hurricanes have occurred and are real and daunting challenges for human health and the biosphere that affect Water and food resources. Urbanization, with high levels of greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles and western lifestyles, is associated with increased levels of particulate matter in the air and food sources, soil, fresh water, and oceans. These environmental changes are associated with an increase in the frequency of allergic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular, cancer, heat-related mortality, diseases caused by food and nutrition, stress-related disorders, and bronchial asthma, which have been observed in most industrialized countries in recent decades and are continuously increasing in developing countries. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the recent evidence on the effects of climate change on air and environmental pollution and pollution-related health effects and to identify avenues of knowledge for future research.
