Widowhood disparities in nonaccidental mortality attributable to heat waves and ozone [PDF]

Eco-Environment & Health
Emerging evidence suggests that heat waves and ozone (O3) contribute to increased mortality risks. Since widowhood is a common event that can increase individuals' susceptibility to the environment, it is of great importance and interest to elucidate the

Chronically underestimated: a reassessment of US heat waves using the extended heat index

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
The heat index, or apparent temperature, was never defined for extreme heat and humidity, leading to the widespread adoption of a polynomial extrapolation designed by the United States National Weather Service.
