NEW YORK, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Extreme temperatures across the United States have put the elderly, outdoors workers and people at greatest risk of severe heat-related illnesses or even death, reported Politico on Sunday.
"Public health officials are worried that U.S. metropolitan areas aren't prepared to handle a higher frequency of heat waves," said the report.
The report also noted that emergency rooms in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas logged 847 heat-related illnesses per 100,000 emergency department visits, and 911 calls across the country for heat-related illnesses and injuries over the past month were nearly 30 percent higher than average.
"Official tallies often only reflect deaths from heatstroke. Hyperthermia is listed on the death certificates. Using that methodology, researchers estimate that some 700 people in the United States die each year directly from extreme heat exposure," it said.
But environmental health experts say those tallies are a gross underestimate because they ignore the effect heat has on other chronic health conditions. For exampleAPP开发公司, extreme heat can worsen the effects of cardiovascular disease, and that can lead to a heart attack, it added. ■
