Heat wave killings in Pakistan and possiblestrategies to prevent the future heat wave fatalities by Syed Zawar Shah in Research and Reviews on Healthcare: Open Access Journal (RRHOAJ)- Lupine Publishers
There is near unanimous scientific consensus that greenhouse gas
emissions generated by human activity will change Earth's climate. The
recent (globally averaged) warming by 0.5°C is partly attributable to
such anthropogenic emissions. Climate change will affect human health in
many ways-most adversely. Heat waves are the most fatal type of weather
situations and they happen irregularly in different countries. Heat
waves are well-known in other countries but the people of Pakistan
became familiar with it in 2010 when the extremely high temperature was
recorded at Mohenjo-Daro, which was the hottest temperature ever
recorded in Asia. After this incident heat waves again knocked the
boundary of Pakistan in 2015 and at this time it caught attention
because it resulted in a lot of deaths due to hyperthermia. Heat waves
form when high pressure aloft become stronger and remains over a region
for several days up to several weeks. Areas of high population having
dense accommodation and poor people are at risk to the adverse effects
of heat waves. Government should take steps to prevent deaths by
investing in the electrical infrastructure. Besides this, public
awareness is also important to minimize the loss.
