Gesundheitsrisiko Klimawandel: Neue Herausforderungen für Sport, Beruf und Alltag

While large sections of the population can protect themselves from heat, UV radiation and other risks - for example by visiting cool rooms - climate-related health risks for outdoor athletes, outdoor workers and other risk groups who are outdoors in their leisure time or for professional reasons. This applies to football, athletics, cycling, water and winter sports as well as for building and civil engineering, agriculture and horticulture, rescue services and daycare centres.

It provides an up-to-date and comprehensive view of climate changes and the resulting health hazards: heat stroke, accidents caused by lightning strikes or avalanches, UV erythema, skin cancer, respiratory diseases caused by ozone and fine dust, asthma caused by neophytes, infections caused by ticks and mosquitoes to psychological consequences.
