The Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East region, where both natural and anthropogenic disasters have occurred, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This article aims to alert and inform the neurological community about the many health risks linked to climate change, including some more specific ones, such as the mucilage phenomenon, heat waves and dust storms, and the spread of vector-borne infections. We describe the potential adverse effects of such climate-related exposures and advocate for more research to promote Brain Health.
东地中海和中东地区既发生过自然灾害，也发生过人为灾害，特别容易受到气候变化的影响。本文旨在提醒神经学界并向其通报与气候变化相关的诸多健康风险，包括一些更具体的风险，如黏液现象、热浪和沙尘暴，以及病媒传播感染的扩散。我们描述了此类与气候相关的暴露可能产生的不利影响，并主张开展更多研究以促进脑健康。
