Global Warming and Human Health
Introduction
Human health refers to the state of soberness in terms of the
mind, the body and the soul. The world health organization has
defined health as the state of the body being free from illnesses
or injuries. Environment on the other hand, is the immediate
environment of the human being which affects all aspects in
life. The environment is in control of the healthy and unhealthy
environment and thus can moderate on the effects on the health
of the human beings. One of the environmental factors that
affect the human health to a great extent is the global warming
(Martens, 2014). Global warming is the rise of the atmospheric
temperatures above the optimal levels and thus affecting the
human operations.
Global warming has significant effects of the health of human
beings. For example, through poor air quality, natural disasters,
allergens and other possible nuisances, spreading diseases and
also extreme heat human health is tampered. The combination if
the pollution from the plants, warm air, and sunlight develops
another ozone layer that is on a lower level as compared to the
normal one. In this case, it means that the air remains in the
atmosphere and is not released to higher levels. In this manner,
the air becomes polluted and when inhaled, it causes respiratory
related illnesses.
Natural disaster – increased global warming also brings about
effects that cause natural disaster and thus endangering the
health and safety of humans. For example, the increased and
long droughts, increases the chances of forest fires and
therefore engendering the life of the population as well as the
firefighters. Also, the increased temperatures in the ocean
increase the chances of tropical hurricanes as well as floods
through raising sea levels.

3. Allergens and other nuisances- high temperatures as well as the
increased concentrations of the carbon dioxide, accelerate the
growth and maturity of some plants which thus produces
potential allergens (Change., 2014). For example, the ragweed
grows more with increased temperatures and the carbon dioxide.
In this manner, the allergy related illnesses increase with the
global warming. The human health is affected and thus
productivity in general will be below normal levels.
Spreading diseases- increased temperatures are proofed to be a
conducive environment for the disease vectors as well as growth
and their spreading. Also, warm water bodies’ means great
outbreak of diseases such as cholera. Additionally, the insect
that had been sent away by the cold winters come back with the
increased temperatures and are observed to be moving towards
the poles.
