Health Effects of Climate Change Center for Disease Control

Greater allergenic effect with higher CO2 levels Longer season Pollen Photo by Mike Haddock More pollen Greater allergenic effect with higher CO2 levels Longer season Example: Ragweed - 21 day longer season in Minnesota since 1997

Wild Fires More frequent More severe Longer fire season Smoke can be transported long distances before exposure

Ozone Heat + NOx + VOCs = Ozone Inflammation in lungs, triggers episodes Efforts to reduce carbon emissions also reduce criteria air pollutants, resulting in immediate benefits

Expanding ranges for ticks & mosquitoes Lyme disease & West Nile Infectious Disease Center for Disease Control Expanding ranges for ticks & mosquitoes Lyme disease & West Nile Extreme rainfall events could also spread food and waterborne diseases
