Ambient PM2.5 and O3 and their combined effects on the onset of acute cardiovascular events
PM 2.5 and O 3 are risk factors for ACE onset, particularly on the day of onset and the day before. Moreover, we found no significant interaction of PM 2.5 and O 3 on ACE onset. Reducing PM 2.5 and O 3 concentrations and avoiding exposure to high levels of these pollutants in the early phase may mitigate ACE onset. Targeted policies aimed at reducing PM 2.5 and O 3 pollution should be developed to mitigate their adverse health effects among high-…
Nonlinear and potential driving impacts of meteorological and air pollution factors on influenza-like illness in Jinan, China
This study demonstrated that both the DLNM and EDM methods consistently revealed the complex and nonlinear effects of specific environmental factors on influenza infection. Specifically, TCN > 5 °C, AP > 1100 hPa, and SO 2 > 60 [Formula: see text]g/m 3 were associated with increased risk of influenza infection. Children aged 0-4 years and individuals aged 5-59 years exhibit different susceptibility patterns to environmental factors. These finding…
Estimating non-optimal temperature-attributable burden of Salmonella and Campylobacter infections under various climate change, population, and adaptation scenarios in Australia

Short-Term Effects of Climate Variability on Childhood Diarrhoea in Bangladesh
The aim of this study was to estimate the effects of climate on childhood diarrhoea hospitalisations across six administrative divisions in Bangladesh and to provide scientific evidence for local health authorities for disease control and prevention. Fortnightly hospital admissions (August/2013-June/2017) for diarrhoea in children under five years of age, and fortnightly average maximum temperature, relative humidity and rainfall recordings for s…
Association between High Ambient Temperatures and Road Crashes in an Australian City with Temperate Climate
(1) Background: High ambient temperatures are associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates, and some evidence suggests that high temperatures increase the risk of road crashes. However, little is known regarding the burden of road crashes attributable to no-optimal high temperatures in Australia. Therefore, this study examined the effects of high temperatures on road crashes using Adelaide in South Australia as a case study. (2) Method…
Hospitalization Costs of Respiratory Diseases Attributable to Temperature in Australia and Projections for Future Costs in the 2030s and 2050s under Climate Change
This study aimed to estimate respiratory disease hospitalization costs attributable to ambient temperatures and to estimate the future hospitalization costs in Australia. The associations between daily hospitalization costs for respiratory diseases and temperatures in Sydney and Perth over the study period of 2010-2016 were analyzed using distributed non-linear lag models. Future hospitalization costs were estimated based on three predicted clima…
Emergency department visits and associated healthcare costs attributable to increasing temperature in the context of climate change in Perth, Western Australia, 2012–2019
Increasing temperature and its impact on population health is an emerging significant public health issue in the context of climate change in Australia. While previous studies have primarily focused on risk assessment, very few studies have evaluated heat-attributable emergency department (ED) visits and associated healthcare costs, or projected future health and economic burdens. This study used a distributed lag non-linear model to estimate hea…
Cause-specific mortality attributable to cold and hot ambient temperatures in Hong Kong
Characterising the Burden of Work-Related Injuries in South Australia
To characterise the burden of work-related injuries in South Australia, workers’ compensation claim data were obtained from SafeWork South Australia between 2000 and 2014. Descriptive analyses were performed to investigate the burden of work-related injuries by age, gender, occupation, industry, and nature and mechanism of injury. Dunn’s test was used to compare the injury costs and working days lost by industry and occupation. Ordinary linear re…
China's capacity of hospitals to deal with infectious diseases in the context of climate change
Infectious Diseases, Urbanization and Climate Change
China is one of the largest countries in the world with nearly 20% of the world's population. There have been significant improvements in economy, education and technology over the last three decades. Due to substantial investments from all levels of government, the public health system in China has been improved since the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak. However, infectious diseases still remain a major population health i…
