Article Synopsis
  • Compound extreme weather events, linked to climate change, are becoming more frequent and are expected to lead to an increase in emergency ambulance calls (EACs), but their impact has not been thoroughly studied.
  • The researchers analyzed over 242,000 EAC records from Shenzhen between January 2020 and June 2023, focusing on days with at least two extreme weather events using a specialized statistical model.
  • Findings indicate that various combinations of extreme weather (like cold monsoons or heat waves) have significant links to increased EACs related to diseases like cardiovascular and endocrine diseases, highlighting a growing public health concern.
