Climate change and air pollution negatively impact the health of patients with respiratory conditions – and yet some treatments used for those same conditions contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. We are determined to break this negative cycle by working to make respiratory care that’s better for people and the planet. Find out more here 👉 https://gsk.to/3MTvlCB #ERSCongress2024

Did you know that extreme temperatures and air pollution caused by climate change are putting new stress on our hearts? Blood pressure rises in extreme cold - it can suddenly drop in extreme heat. Air pollution can constrict our airways and inflame our arteries. That’s why access to #health solutions is so vital, especially to those with vulnerable hearts.❤️ #TeamBayer #ClimateChange #HeartHealth #HealthForAll

As climate change worsens, workers globally face higher risks of exposure to hazards like extreme heat, UV radiation, severe weather, pollution, vector-borne diseases, and agrochemicals. The need for action is immediate! #ClimateChange #InternationalLabourDay #WorkPlaceSafety #HealthHazards

Climate change 🌍 it is causing death and injury and diseases for the workers everywhere leading - excessive heat  - extreme whether Event  - UV radiation  - Vector borne disease  - air pollution  - agrochemical according to the last estimated every year there are 2.4 billion are exposed to the excessive heat and around 1.6 billion in solar UV radiation and hundreds of thousand are dying from hazardous exposures aggravated by climate change take action to protect workers everywhere. Together, we can create a safer, healthier future for all. Thanks to Manal Azzi and the dedicated team at International Labour Organization for sharing vital insights on this pressing issue. #safeday2024 #ClimateChange #WorkplaceSafety #PublicHealth #ActOnClimat #safetyandhealth #globalsafetyday🌱

🫁 Did you know: 99% of the world breathes polluted air? Air quality is closely linked to the health of the earth’s ecosystems and our communities. Some common sources include: 🥘 Cooking with open fires 🚗 Emissions from vehicles 💨 Burning agriculture and waste 🏙 Powering homes and industrial facilities 🔥 Wildfires Policies to fight air pollution are a win-win for climate and health.

Absolutely crucial post from Abdulaziz Albahkali ! Climate change's impact on worker safety, especially in logistics, can't be ignored. What is your tips for managing its effects on workers and your team? Let's prioritize workers' well-being as we tackle this pressing issue. #ClimateAction

Climate change, air pollution cause 12.6 million deaths every year. Air pollution, the silent killer, alone kills seven million people. The UN and WHO have termed air pollution a "silent killer," causing around seven million deaths yearly. The collaboration between the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and WHO aims to protect communities by improving the flow of information on weather, climate, and air quality. This partnership will help health professionals manage environmental risks, promote policies that reduce greenhouse gases, and address health issues linked to air pollution, such as strokes, heart disease, and respiratory conditions. Additionally, the WMO's climate forecasting will aid in combating diseases like malaria and mitigating the effects of droughts and heatwaves. for more details: https://lnkd.in/dZ6EqBb5 #climatechange #airpollution

Climate Change is caused by extra heat in the climate system due to the addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. These changes worsen existing air pollution. Exposure to these pollutants can lead to or worsen health problems, such as respiratory and heart diseases. Climate change can also affect indoor air quality. Increases in outside air pollutants, such as ozone and particulate matter, could lead to higher indoor exposures.
