Abstract Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of potentially hazardous heat conditions across United States, putting incarcerated population 2 million at risk for heat-related health conditions. We evaluate exposure 4,078 continental US carceral facilities during 1982–2020. Results show that number hot days per year increased 1982–2020 1,739 facilities, primarily located in southern States. State-run Texas and Florida accounted 52% total exposure, despite holding 12% all people. This highlights urgency enhanced infrastructure, system interventions treatment people, especially under climate change.

Abstract Background Limited evidence exists on how temperature increases are associated with hospital visits from alcohol- and substance-related disorders, despite plausible behavioral physiological pathways. Methods In the present study, we implemented a case-crossover design, which controls for seasonal patterns, long-term trends, non- or slowly-varying confounders, distributed lag non-linear terms (0–6 days) to estimate associations between daily ZIP Code-level disorder visit rates in New York State during 1995–2014. We also examined four sub-causes (cannabis, cocaine, opioid, sedatives). Results Here show that, alcohol-related increase minimum (−30.1 °C (−22.2 °F)) 75th percentile (18.8 (65.8 across 0–6 days is cumulative 24.6% (95%CI,14.6%–34.6%) rates, largely driven by day of before visit, an association larger outside City. For find positive at temperatures 50th (10.4 (50.7 (37.7% (95%CI,27.2%–48.2%), but not higher temperatures. Findings consistent age group, sex, social vulnerability. Conclusions Our work highlights disorders currently impacted elevated could be further affected rising resulting climate change. Enhanced infrastructure health system interventions mitigate these impacts.

Abstract Climate change is escalating the threat of heat stress to global public health, with majority humans today facing increasingly severe and prolonged waves. Accurate weather data reflecting complexity measuring crucial for reducing impact extreme on health worldwide. Previous studies have employed Heat Index (HI) Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) metrics understand exposure, forming basis guidelines. However, systematic comparisons meteorological climate sets used these related parameters, like air temperature, humidity, wind speed, solar radiation human thermoregulation, are lacking. We compared three measures (HI max , WBGT Bernard Liljegren ) approximated from gridded (ERA5‐Land, PRISM, Daymet) ground‐based data, revealing strong agreement HI ( R 2 0.76–0.95, RMSE 1.69–6.64°C). Discrepancies varied by Köppen‐Geiger climates (e.g., Adjusted 0.88–0.95, 0.79–0.97, 0.80–0.96), metrological input variables (Adjusted T 0.86–0.94, min 0.91–0.94, Wind 0.33, Solar 0.38, avg relative humidity 0.51–0.74). Gridded can offer reliable exposure assessment, but further research local networks vital reduce measurement errors fully enhance our understanding how link outcomes.

Introduction: The increase in average air temperature and multiple extreme weather events, such as heatwaves droughts, pose significant health risks to humans. This scoping review aims examine the current state of existing literature concerning potential relationship between substance abuse climate change, along with aspects it encompasses. Material methods: followed PRISMA guidelines for methodological rigor, aiming identify studies on drug abuse. Searches were conducted across primary databases using specific search strings. Quality assessment involved evaluating research question’s clarity, strategy transparency, consistency applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, reliability data extraction. Results: Most USA. They included observational retrospective quantitative studies, well qualitative prospective ones. Research examined correlation some All analyzed adverse effects especially heatwaves, both physiological pathological levels. Conclusions: notes scarcity about emphasizes threats faced by individuals mental disorders due change.

The association between ambient temperature and mental health has been explored previously. However, research on the psychological effect of in vulnerable groups neighborhood scales have scarce. Based survey data collected from 20 neighborhoods Guangzhou, China, this study estimated community among elderly, adopting a fixed-effects methodology. According to empirical analysis, compared comfortable range 20℃–25℃, measures worse elderly were significant high low temperatures with increases negative outcomes observable at both ends range, leading U-shaped relationship. Second, was found subcategories gender, income, symptom events. Specifically, hot aspect, males more sensitive than females. far middle-high income group, probability each elderly's significantly increased. From cool 5ºC–10ºC associated some symptoms (feeling down, not calm, downheartedness, unhappiness) group.
