Exploring Weather Events Affecting The Health and Emergency intensive care admissions of children using Routine data: the WEATHER study

University of Leicester
Department of Population Health Sciences
Background. Climate change and air pollution pose a significant global challenge, disproportionately affecting the health and lives of children.1 Despite lifelong exposure, little is known about how weather impacts children, even though air pollution, which is closely linked with weather, harms every organ in the body.
