The Impact of Climatic and Meteorological Factors on Population Health Indicators in an Industrial Region of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Abstract
The study demonstrated a statistically significant association between increasing ambient temperature, air pollution levels, and adverse public health indicators in an industrial region of Kazakhstan. Climate change enhances the negative impact of anthropogenic factors and requires integrated preventive strategies in occupational and environmental health.
