Gesundheitsrisiko Klimawandel: Neue Herausforderungen für Sport, Beruf und Alltag (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Sven Schneider

The average temperatures and many other indicators of climate change are always reaching new highs. 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.

This new release brings together the expertise of over 70 authors from over 40 leading state, scientific and societal institutions, associations and institutions. 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.

In training, competition, major events or professional external activities, specific and comprehensive protection concepts (such as heat action plans)? Nationwide, responsible persons in sports clubs and as employers see acute need for action. They all face the challenge of implementing prevention measures promptly and effectively. Policy makers need information about the regulatory framework at local, municipal or supra-regional levels. This book presents up-to-date information and approaches to action.
