Together with the increase in greenhouse gas in the atmosphere,
climate changes such as heat, weather conditions and
heavy rains cause regional and global variations around the
world. In global climate where a heat increase occurs, during
the studies performed by especially improved climate models,
an approximate heat increase by 2-4.5 oC is predicted
between 1990-2100 in the world. Related with this increase,
many natural disasters, epidemics and hazardous vectors
are expected to increase. Additionally, the exposure state of
humans and countries will be different together with feeling
the global climate changes differently all over the world. As a
result of these, an average of 1.2 million and 60.000 humans
lose their lives annually due to urban air pollution and natural
disasters respectively. Together with climate changes,
those with chronic diseases are mostly affected as a result
of air pollution. The most affected group of people during
COVID-19 pandemic period have been the chronic patients.
During COVID-19 pandemic period, the fact that particle
substances in the air act as a carrier tool in transmission of
Coronavirus agent is highly crucial in terms of increasing the
severity of the disease.
