Description
The effects of global warming on human health factors with special regards to our brain function are still not well understood. There
is an urgent need to expand our knowledge on the effects of hot environment on our brain functions in healthy and in diseased populations.
It is still unclear whether infectious events, traumatic injuries, metabolic diseases, carcinogenic events, cardiovascular and respiratory
functions will be adversely affected by the rise in global temperature or whether environmental pollutants, such as nanoparticles entered
into our body system will produce more damage at high ambient temperatures. This book aims to answer these questions based on recent
research carried out by top experts in the field from the USA (11 chapters), Europe (8) chapters), the Middle East (3 chapters), Asia
(2 chapters) and Canada (1).
These chapters are written in review style and embedded with the author’s new and original data in relation
to the current knowledge in the field. The book is highly interesting to the first time readers, beginners and students alike as well
as provides in-depth knowledge to the professionals. In addition, prospects for future research and recommendations are clearly indicated
in each chapter for future growth of the subject in this highly emerging new discipline.
