Climate change effects: Burn patients increased in America!

Vita gazette – The storm of global warming and climate change is affecting the whole world. The number of people hospitalised with deep burns that “require a skin transplant” is increasing in the United States. Ground temperatures nearly reached boiling point as temperatures in Phoenix, Arizona, set a record above 43 degrees (110F) for 24 consecutive days. People get hospitalised by burning from the car surfaces and asphalt heat.

Due to the continued burning of fossil fuels and global warming caused by human activities, heat waves are no longer unusual events. Since global warming constantly increases, heat waves will increase even more if global and regional rulers do not take emergency measures. Accordingly, extreme heat, fires, heavy rains, floods, storms, floods, and deaths will affect the world…

The latest news on climate change came from America. In the United States, a prolonged heat wave has reached the level of injured people who touch heated surfaces or objects. An increase was reported in the number of patients admitted to the hospital with 2-3 degree burns associated with hot weather. Arizona paramedics said those who touched sun-heated metal vehicles or fell on asphalt were injured. Ground temperatures nearly reached boiling point as temperatures in Phoenix, Arizona, set a record above 43 degrees (110F) for 24 consecutive days.

Most patients are older adults who lose their balance in the heat and fall or children who cannot get up quickly after falling. Drug users who are dehydrated and can pass out on the sidewalks are also among the risk group. Burns can reach the third degree.

More than 150 non-hospitalized patients at the Arizona Burn Center are also being treated for burns from touching hot surfaces such as metal cars and seat belts. Touching metal or asphalt for just a few seconds can cause severe burns.
