Community-level risk factors for temperature-related mortality in France
This study suggests that urban areas in France are more vulnerable to heat, compared to rural communities, and that this disparity is probably driven by air pollution (NO<sub>2</sub>) and urban heat island. Reducing air pollution and mitigating urban heat island should be at the forefront of adaptation strategies to prevent heat-related health impacts.
