Compound drought and heatwave extreme weather events: Mortality risk in individuals with chronic respiratory disease
Compound drought and heatwave events trend toward increased mortality risk among patients with COPD and present a growing human health threat under climate change. Existing heat warnings and vulnerability maps may include drought conditions to better capture heat-related public health risks.
