Projection of temperature-related severe injuries under climate change: a nationwide study of South Korea
This nationwide study indicates that the temperature rise under the climate change scenario may contribute to an increase in the future burden of injuries in South Korea, particularly transport injuries and injuries due to contact with chemicals or other substances. Our findings may be informative for public health policies aiming at alleviating the health burden in the context of global warming.
