Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to participate in this new Special Issue titled “The Effects of Extreme Temperature, Pollution, and Climate Change on Human Health”. It is necessary to encourage the scientific community to show scientific evidence of how climate change could affect the health of the population, and we are currently witnessing different changes in climate leading to changes in the transmission pattern of communicable diseases.
Further and higher-quality research is needed in this field, and we believe that a good communication of the results is also needed in different areas such as social networks, news and specialized journals.
We believe that the publication in this journal is important, but it is important that and increasing number of people understand the result of our research. For this reason, each paper should be written in layman’s terms so that decision-makers can easily understand why we have to change or take actions in the community.
We hope that this Special Issue will find good research to publish and become a reference tool for public health decision-makers.
Dr. Dante Roger Culqui Lévano
Guest Editor
