The Mean

This investigation aim to evaluate the effect of heat wave on health of human, so to achieve this 40 blood samples for person exposed to heat wave were drawn most patients were attend to specialists in hospital laboratories (Medical City, Ibn al-Baladi, Sheikh Zayed, Kadhimiya Educational). The patients aged 10–60 years, male (20) and female (20). CBC analyzes was performed. The result of the presents study recorded a highly signifi cant difference in total (mean and percent) as compared with the normal value of the CBC analyze the result for total (mean and percent) for male the factors CRP, ESR, WBC, PCV, PL (15.5, 43, 11.35, 28.5, 215) respectively (100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%) and the result for total (mean and percent) for female the factors CRP, ESR, WBC, PCV, PL (15, 43.5, 11.35, 31, 220.5) respectively (100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%). According to the result we can conclude that there was a highly significant deferent in mean value for patient compared with the normal value which is the mean cause of hard attack which lead to death. The study is the fi rst of its kind in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences in Iraq.

Heat Events

<p>Global temperatures have shown a warming trend over the last century, mainly as a result of anthropogenic activities. Rising temperatures are a potential cause for increase of extreme climate events, such as heat waves, both in severity and frequency. Under an increasing extreme event scenario, the world population of mid- and low-latitude countries is more vulnerable to heat related mortality and morbidity. In India, the events occurred in recent years have made this vulnerability clear, since the numbers of heat related deaths are on a rise.</p><p>Over India, the heat waves occur during the months of April to June and can impact various sectors including health, agriculture, ecosystems and the national economy. In May 2015, a severe heat wave due to the delayed onset of southwest monsoon affected parts of south-eastern India, which claimed more than 2500 lives.</p><p>Preliminary results show the prevalence of Heat events in North-West, Central and South-Eastern regions of India during the pre-monsoon (March, April, May) and transitional (May, June, July) months. We consider the Heat Index (HI), a combination of temperature and relative humidity, also known as apparent temperature, gives an insight into the discomfort because of increment in humidity, that reduces the efficiency of body’s cooling mechanism as it blocks evaporation. Thus, along with temperature anomalies, humidity also plays a role in transitional period.</p><p>Heatwaves over India are known to be linked with El-Niño-Southern Oscillation or ENSO, but some studies indicated that the processes generating heat waves over northwest-central and coastal eastern India could be linked to anomalous blocking over North Atlantic and to the cooling over central and east equatorial Pacific. While other studies demonstrated that anomalous persistent high-pressure systems, supplemented with clear skies and depleted soil moisture, are primarily responsible for the occurrence of heat waves over India.</p><p>The changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme events have profound impact on human society and the natural environment. The heat stress and underlying anomalous conditions can exacerbate an increase in the number of deaths. While global heat wave and health impact research is prolific in some regions, the global population most incline to risk of death and conspicuous harm caused by extreme heat is under-represented. Heat wave and health impact research are needed in regions where this impact is expected to be most severe.</p>

The Impact

The limitations of waste management in the Cipayung Landfill (TPA) causing a buildup of garbage up to more than 30 meters. This condition has a health impact on people in Cipayung Village. This study aims to analyze the impact of waste management at Cipayung Landfill on public health in Cipayung Village, Depok City. The research is descriptive qualitative. Data obtained by purposive sampling. Data was collected by interviews, observation and documentation. Based on interviews with 30 respondents, it was found that the most common diseases were diarrhea, then other types of stomach ailments, subsequent itching on the skin and coughing. This is presumably because the environmental conditions in the form of unhealthy air and water and clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS) have not become the habit of the people. The results indicated that there were no respondents who had implemented all of these criteria. In general respondents have implemented  3 criteria, namely maintaining hair hygiene, maintaining skin cleanliness, and maintaining hand hygiene. While maintaining clean water storage is the most often overlooked behavior. To minimize this health impact, improvements in waste management in Cipayung landfill are needed along with continuous socialization and education to develop PHBS habits and the importance of maintaining a clean environment.
