Abstract:
Climate change has significant consequences for children\'s respiratory health. Rising temperatures and extreme weather events increase children\'s exposure to allergens, mould, and air pollutants. Children are particularly vulnerable to these airborne particles due to their higher ventilation per unit of body weight, more frequent mouth breathing, and outdoor activities. Children with asthma and cystic fibrosis are at particularly high risk, with increased risks of exacerbation, but the effects of climate change could also be observed in the general population, with a risk of impaired lung development and growth. Mitigation measures, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions by healthcare professionals and healthcare systems, and adaptation measures, such as limiting outdoor activities during pollution peaks, are essential to preserve children\'s respiratory health. The mobilisation of society as a whole, including paediatricians, is crucial to limit the impact of climate change on children\'s respiratory health.
摘要:
气候变化对儿童的呼吸健康有重大影响。气温上升和极端天气事件增加了儿童接触过敏原的机会,霉菌,和空气污染物。儿童特别容易受到这些空气传播颗粒的影响,因为他们单位体重的通风较高,更频繁的嘴巴呼吸,和户外活动。患有哮喘和囊性纤维化的儿童风险特别高,随着恶化的风险增加,但是气候变化的影响也可以在普通人群中观察到,有肺发育和生长受损的风险。缓解措施,包括减少医疗保健专业人员和医疗保健系统的温室气体排放,和适应措施,例如在污染高峰期间限制户外活动,对保护儿童的呼吸健康至关重要。整个社会的动员,包括儿科医生,对于限制气候变化对儿童呼吸健康的影响至关重要。
